Starbucks staff meeting
On a recent weekday morning, I walked into my local Starbucks and headed straight for the pickup counter.
Meeting location
I grabbed my usual order, a grande dark roast, no cream, no sugar, and took the closest, most comfortable seat.
Third place concept
Starbucks’ appeal rests in part on the idea of the coffee shop as a place to linger, a familiar stop in the daily routine.
Leadership transparency
The meeting at my local Starbucks was worth paying attention to because employees convened in the middle of their store.
Four lessons
For any CEO, four lessons in that meeting are worth taking beyond the coffee shop.
The main idea
Starbucks employees shared four leadership lessons during a staff meeting that any CEO can apply.
