America Deserves a Servant Leader


I came across an article by Maureen Dowd about the country needs a business leader as President, and she named the Founder of Starbucks, Howard Schultz.

Howard lived in the same project in Brooklyn as I did, but I was 8 years and 11 months older.

I meet him in Seattle when I worked there and New York at a speech he gave, and have a signed copy of his book that he gave me.

He just wrote an OP-ED in the New York Times.

He writes:

Despite the encouragement of others, I have no intention of entering the presidential fray. I’m not done serving at Starbucks. Although we have built an iconic brand while providing even part-time employees with access to health care, free college education and stock options, there is more we can do as a public company to demonstrate responsible leadership. The values of servant leadership — putting others first and leading from the heart — need to emerge from every corner of American life, including the business community.
