“If you are a Starbucks Partner, this book will speak volumes to you. Especially if you are in or are seeking a leadership position. Many reviews say it is vague, but I think that unless you understand or a part of the Starbucks culture, you won’t get it as truly as we do. I am currently being promoted to assistant manager and this book opened my eyes to many new ideas.”
