Onward - How Starbucks Fought For Its Life Without Losing Its Soul(ISBN=9780470977644) fb2 免费 lrf 下载 kindle azw3 pdf 阿里云

　　In 2008, Howard Schultz, the president and chairman of

Starbucks, made the unprecedented decision to return as the CEO

eight years after he stepped down from daily oversight of the

company and became chairman. Concerned that Starbucks had lost its

way, Schultz was determined to help it return to its core values

and restore not only its financial health, but also its soul. In

Onward, he shares the remarkable story of his return and the

company's ongoing transformation under his leadership, revealing

how, during one of the most tumultuous economic times in history,

Starbucks again achieved profitability and sustainability without

sacrificing humanity. Offering readers a snapshot of a moment in

history that left no company unscathed, the book zooms in to show,

in riveting detail, how one company struggled and recreated itself

in the midst of it all. The fast paced narrative is driven by

day-to-day tension as conflicts arise and lets readers into

Schultz's psyche as he comes to terms with his limitations and

evolving leadership style. Onward is a compelling, candid narrative

documenting the maturing of a brand as well as a businessman.

Onward represents Schultz's central leadership philosophy: It's not

just about winning, but the right way to win. Ultimately, he gives

readers what he strives to deliver every day- a sense of hope that,

no matter how tough times get, the future can be just as or more

successful than the past, whatever one defines success to be.'

"Through the lens of his personal leadership journey, with all of

its dizzying ups and agonizing downs, Howard Schultz has written,

with aching honesty and passion, the single most important book on

leadership and change for our time and for every generation of

leaders. This book is not just recommended reading, it's required."

Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business, University of

Southern California, and author of the recently published Still

Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership "[This] sequel to the

founding of Starbucks is grittier, more gripping, and dramatic, and

[Schultz's] voice is winning and authentic. This is a must-read for

anyone interested in leadership, management, or the quest to

connect a brand with the consumer." Publishers Weekly
