Today we are diving into the classic by Howard Behar - It's Not About The Coffee. In today’s episode we are afforded the incredible opportunity to have Howard join us to help weave some of these concepts into the fabric of the Construction Industry and how his #ServantLeadership style helped shape many of the strategic decisions at Starbucks. For 21 years Howard led Starbuck’s domestic business as President of North America, and he became the founding President of Starbucks International opening the very first store outside of North America in Japan. During his tenure, he participated in the growth of the company from only 28 stores to over 15,000 stores spanning five continents. 😳😳😳😳😳😳 

Howard joins NEXT Academy Co-Creators Chad Jones and Cody Phillips as they discuss “It's Not About The Coffee” and pull out leadership lessons that they feel can help contractors create a competitive advantage by utilizing the Starbucks Way in this fast-paced world! This book is #AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥
