星巴克執行長 舒茲 與你分享 解決危機的經營智慧
真誠 果斷 勇氣
這是一門課堂上學不到的失敗經驗
以地毯式擴張崛起的星巴克,2008年遭受金融風暴、同業競爭等壓力,營運走下坡。
舒茲回任執行長力挽狂瀾,轉型成功,並帶領星巴克邁向40週年。
身為企業領導人,舒茲有兩大職志:
要為員工爭取或創造財富,
還要建立大有作為、可長可久的企業。
在外界引頸企盼下,星巴克執行長霍華.舒茲繼第一本暢銷書《咖啡王國傳奇》之後再度執筆,娓娓道出這家跨國咖啡企業重振雄風的幕後故事和領導教訓。
2000年,舒茲卸下執行長職務,轉任董事長,專心擘畫全球策略,擴充事業版圖。八年後,他做了一項跌破眾人眼鏡的決定:回鍋續任執行長。舒茲擔憂星巴克誤入歧途、偏離本業,因此決意協助公司重拾核心價值觀、恢復健全財務、找回企業靈魂。他在書中慨然分享自己重新掌舵之後的精采故事,不但提及他領導星巴克持續轉型的過程,也披露星巴克在有史以來經濟最混亂的時期,如何再度獲利、邁向永續經營,卻不失人情味。
本書除了言簡意賅地敘述美國企業遭受經濟風暴波及的窘境,也鉅細靡遺地透露星巴克如何在擾攘不安的環境中奮鬥求生、重建自我。讀者可從緊湊的敘事節奏中,感受到星巴克每日面對的激烈競爭壓力,同時體會到舒茲克服個人限制、改變領導作風所經歷的內心轉折。本書透過引人入勝、坦率直言的筆調,記錄一個品牌和一名商人邁向成熟的故事。
本書敘述舒茲的基本領導哲學:不鼓勵一味爭強好勝,而強調以正當手段取勝。最重要的是,舒茲帶給讀者一個他每天都在努力傳遞的訊息:不管時局多麼艱困、無論成功定義是什麼,都要懷抱希望,相信未來會和過去一樣成功,或是更甚於以往。

On February 26, 2008, customers at 7,100 Starbucks stores in the US were asked to leave. For the next three hours every barista in every Starbucks was retrained in the art of making the perfect espresso. The act was unprecedented, but proof of just how dire things were becoming at a company that could once do no wrong.
For more than three decades, Starbucks had a storied history of being a great place to work, of ethically sourcing and roasting the highest-quality coffee beans, and of crafting beverages for millions of customers who went to Starbucks for coffee and for a sense of community. But by 2008, after years of focusing on rapid expansion, the traits that made Starbucks successful were in jeopardy. Sales started to slide at a distressing rate. The stock price was falling. The company's very survival was at risk.
To address the emerging problems, former chief executive officer Howard Schultz, who had stepped aside almost eight years earlier to become chairman after growing Starbucks from 11 stores to thousands, did something no one expected: He returned as CEO to oversee day-to-day operations. His goal was not just to stabilize the company, but to transform it by refocusing on core values and reigniting the innovation required to thrive in a dramatically shifting marketplace, all while fending off harsh critics and huge competitors.
Schultz came back with passion and a plan, and in the course of two years---even in the face of painful revelations about internal troubles and a worsening economy---Starbucks astonishingly returned to sustainable, profitable growth.
Onward is the remarkable story of that transformation. Schultz offers readers an extraordinarily intimate look at his daily decision-making process, from closed-door planning sessions in Seattle, to conversations with coffee farmers in Rwanda, to investor presentations in New York during the worst of the economic turmoil.
Onward is more than just a business book. Personally inspiring and unexpectedly candid, it brings a dramatic story to life with the emotional power and narrative suspense of a novel.
