Pour Your Heart Into It
Spending Shabbat here in Frisco (Colorado, not San Francisco, as some Alliance Members seem to think), gave me time to finish off Howard Schultz's Pour Your Heart Into It, his memoir of building Starbucks from the ground up.
It's a good book. Virtually every course I've taken in b-school shows up in some way. But the heart of the book is about company values - for the product and for the employees. It's 7 years old now, but given Starbucks's ongoing growth, it doesn't seem to be dated.
On a political note, this is the same Howard Schultz who turned over $50,000 of his own money to Terry McAwful in 2000, and $2K to Tom Daschle in 2004. Fortunately for the country, he seems to be a much better businessman than political investor.
