Onward and Upward, Systematically
I just finished reading “Onward,” a fascinating book by Howard Schultz, president of Starbucks, the coffee giant. It takes you step by step from Schultz’ decision to return as CEO, in order to bring the company back from the brink, onward to the company’s remarkable recovery.
What made this read so interesting for me was that at about same time our company was going through a similar situation—except for the fact that Starbucks boasts many more zeros in its sales figures and projections.
