Leadership, Passion, and Starbucks

NPR’s Marketplace has a great interview with Howard Schultz, the chairman of Starbucks up on their site.

What stuck me most about the interview was his passion about what he was doing. How fully he believed in his goal.

It’s worth taking a step back and thinking about it during your day. What are you doing right now that you feel that passion for? As a leader, who around you are you helping to build that passion in?

It’s so easy to fall into the day to day activities of “work” that without using your leadership skills, you can forget who is in control of your life.

If you don’t have that passion yet, what a great day today is to start.
