This article articulates how truly important it is to fail, in order to succeed. As the author states, the right dose of rejection proves that you are on the right path, and an approach replete with risks will ultimately pay off.

Howard Schultz’s campaign to divest from all political campaigns as a sign of disgust for Washington’s political feuds, has caught President Obama’s attention. President Obama recently called the Starbucks CEO to discuss the campaign, and while Schultz emphasized that his campaign is not directed against the President, it is clear that his rally has made an impression on our nation’s leaders.
This article takes a look at that story, as well as others that demonstrate Schultz’s renowned leadership and personality traits.

This Business Week article highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with a great team. When someone is not striving for excellence and exhibits certain detrimental traits, it is important to revisit if you want them to continue partnering with them:
Harriet Green, OneVoice board member and an old friend, was just ranked in the top 50 women in world business in 2011. She is the highest ranking business woman of the UK and that is not for lack of good company!
To see more about this honor, see here!
I am a big fan of Starbucks’s Create Jobs for USA campaign and it is incredibly admirable to see business leaders take a stand for the state of our country. For every purchase of the $5 Indivisible wristband, Starbucks will donate $35 to Opportunity Finance Network, an organization that doles out grants to Community Development Financial Institutions. These organizations in turn forward money to small businesses, microenterprises, nonprofits and other community focused institutions, in hopes of- you guessed it- creating jobs.
We have never been more proud to be one of Starbucks and Howard Schultz’s partners.

With the lack of leadership in Washington, it is comforting to know there is creativity and bold leadership coming from business entrepreneurs who want to contribute towards improving society. Take a look at this article about Howard Schultz’s efforts to generate jobs for America. This is a harbinger for the increasing role that enlightened capitalists will play in the future to address social challenges we face. As business pervades more and more in our daily lives, market forces and good corporate brands will be able to play increasing leadership roles – even as politicians get co-opted by special interests and petty extremist politics.
