Today's guest is former Starbucks President, Howard Behar. Hailed as “a hero of conscious capitalism,” “a passionate advocate for leading with purpose,” and a devoted student and teacher of the Servant Leadership Model, Howard Behar’s motivational message inspires everyone to be a servant leader and to lead with their values first.
Howard Behar's career in business spans over 50 years, all in consumer oriented businesses, and most recently as a speaker, advisor, mentor, and bestselling author. His wisdom, generosity, and level of integrity have had a profound impact on thousands of people who have been touched by his example, books, and speaking.
Behar is known for such memorable lessons as “The Person Who
Sweeps the Floor Should Choose the Broom” and “Only the Truth
Sounds Like the Truth.” For 21 years Behar led Starbuck’s domestic
business as President of North America, and was the founding
President of Starbucks International, opening the first store
outside of North America in Japan. He served on the Starbucks Board
of Directors for twelve years before retiring.
The author of the classic
It’s Not About the Coffee, a guide to leading by
putting people first, and The Magic Cup, a parable about the power of personal
values, he now travels the world speaking to leaders,
organizations, and students.
This show is dedicated to Howard's journey, this conversation is what we make it. This is Counsel Culture.
