“。。。 We can be a force for positive action and positive impact! Join our partners, customers and communities to create a good time together.
We understand our responsibilities! Our potential to move in a better direction, we can become stronger. Once again, the world looks to Starbucks and expects us to set new standards. We will live up to our expectations and lead the way. "

with Andy's morale boosting words falling, the whole audience stood up, clapped, whistled with the occasional high voice, "yes," that's it.
Howard Schultz on one side looked at Andy Smith, who was standing at the front desk like a king, and was cheered and applauded by his new subjects. He was filled with emotion. Such a young and excellent leader might be able to win more brilliant future for Starbucks.
A financial crisis has toppled many famous business leaders who have been praised by the media. It also makes many people begin to wonder whether there are real outstanding stocks on Wall Street and, more importantly, whether there are real outstanding leaders.
Indeed, the media's hype makes it seem that only some boastful fakers can become the leaders of today's enterprises, and shareholders are more afraid of the company's executives than trust them. High priced MBAs and generous severance pay are common, while hard-working entrepreneurs in the office are not.
Although it's hard to copy a CEO who can become a cultural power like Steve Jobs, we have to admit that there are still some extremely intelligent and talented business leaders in the world today. Like jobs, these leaders have the ability to create value for shareholders and employees, and can define the entire industry in front of competitors and consumers.
At the moment, Andy Smith, in Howard's eyes, is undoubtedly a leader level entrepreneur. Even if the other side is covering up his light and establishing his own enterprise status, Howard can only cheer for him on the side. No way, the business world is so cruel!
At the end of the North American store manager meeting, Andy brings the management and directors of Starbucks headquarters back to the small meeting room to continue their regular board meeting.
It has to be said that change is a painful and tense process.
In order to change the bad operation and management of Starbucks and consolidate the authority of its chairman, Andy did not stay in Starbucks, but also gradually completed the adjustment of the leadership team.
For example, the president of Africa region, who has never lived in the United States but has a strong ability, has been transferred to the United States as the most important head of local business in the United States. The chief information officer is an information technology talent only 32 years old. The chief financial officer is a member of a think tank who has never worked as a financial director but has worked for many years and is familiar with financial management In other words, the restructuring of the leadership team has injected new vitality into Starbucks' transformation.
In order to improve the internal operation efficiency, Schulz personally presided over the restructuring of supply chain management, and also invested heavily in updating the IT system according to Andy's requirements.
Although a lot of actions have been taken to restore the customer experience, however, the consequences of Starbucks' rapid expansion in the past have not been eliminated. A large number of Starbucks stores are suffering from poor efficiency, which is devouring profits mercilessly and seriously hindering business operation.
In order to cut down unprofitable stores, Starbucks had to shut down and lay off more than 600 stores.
"For Starbucks, 2008 is a year of crisis and change. Under Schulz's leadership, Starbucks has implemented a series of changes, which cost more than 500 million dollars. Starbucks' shares fell to less than $8 at their lowest.
But after the reform, our stock price has risen to about $14, 40% higher than the beginning of the year. In the second quarter of the 2009 financial year, Starbucks achieved unexpected results, achieving the first profit growth since the first quarter of 2008. The company's overall profit was $152 million, in sharp contrast to the loss of nearly $7 million a year ago. "
Speaking of this, Andy smiles and looks at Howard Schultz, who is the first one sitting on the right side. He starts to clap first. Then everyone in the conference room starts to clap. Howard Schultz just smiles and nods. At this moment, he is extremely complicated. He has seen that Andy Smith's strength is almost complete Dominating the whole Starbucks, even his founder felt a sense of powerlessness.
"In the business world, we often find that the winning system goes to the absurd extremes in maximizing or minimizing one or several variables. Therefore, Starbucks should also have its own extremes. In this regard, I would like to hear your opinions... I believe in the wisdom of the collective. What are your good ideas? Let's talk about them
Andy looks around the meeting table with a smile, and beckons people to speak freely. There were some people who were not used to it because of the sudden strength of the young chairman who was not in charge. At the moment, they are also infected by Andy's powerful aura and the natural leadership temperament. They are completely controlled and begin to "dance" around Andy's baton.。。。。。。
Today, Andy's mood is very good, which can be said to be very good. After the meeting, his face is full of brilliant smile, holding Howard Schulz's hand and saying: "next, Starbucks will give you, you are professional, I believe that no one is more suitable to lead Starbucks to a new glory, hard you!"
Look at the sincere smile on Andy's face and listen to the warm words. If the people who don't know the truth see it, they may really feel Andy Smith's atmosphere and trust in the CEO.
Only Howard Schultz knows how he sleeps in his heart at the moment. All day today, he looks like a foil. He looks at Andy Smith, the chairman of the board of directors, and talks freely and angrily. He turns around and begins to coax him, the old man. It's no wonder that he can be the richest man in the world when he is so young. As expected, he is a man eater and doesn't spit out his bones The fox of the head!
With a smile, Andy showed two little assistants with sweet dimples sitting in the car. Under the eyes of a group of executives, the team drove away from Starbucks headquarters.
"Have some happy music." In the car, Andy takes out a bottle of mineral water from the car refrigerator and opens it. After drinking it, Andy is in a very good mood and tells the assistant.
The little assistant who saw that the big devil was in a good mood immediately operated on the car stereo for a few times, and soon began to play the light rhythm of the show.
“。。。 I don't know where to go，I can't do it alone，I've tried。。。。。。”
Listen to the light song, Andy can't help shaking and singing, "I like this song, hehe, by the way, what's the singer's name?"
"Ryan cackley Parker, Australia's only Li singer." Small assistant also because see big devil's good mood and happy smile way.
"A solo singer? Ha ha, happy today. Lucky for her. Write it down. Let the big machine company send someone to sign her down... And just enjoy the show，The sun is hot，In the sky。。。”
Andy said and sang along with him, and his smile became more and more brilliant. Looking at the assistant, he continued, "are you a Seattle grown man, taking me to taste the delicious food here?"
"Ah? Boss, I used to eat roadside stalls and snacks. You... " When she heard this, the little assistant was a little embarrassed. Her memory of Seattle's delicious food was still in the stage of cheap food. After all, she really had no money at that time.
"Ha ha, let's go and take me to have a taste. What's wrong with the roadside stall? The most representative food in the area is snacks." As the richest man in the world who can eat ice cream on the roadside, he never despises roadside food stalls.
"All right." Unwilling to wipe out the fun of the big devil, the little assistant smiled and said to the driver, "go to the pike market."
