It is a lesson in strategic marketing that few books meant for that purpose can even come close. After reading, most of Joseph Michelli’s books, and doing a podcast with him several years ago, I concluded after reading Joe’s latest book, Leading the Starbucks Way: 5 Principles for Connecting with Your Customers, Your Products and Your People, that it is his best work to date.
From the forward of the book:
Each of Dr. Joseph Michelli’s books offers a learning laboratory that’s rich with examples from leaders as they address the aforementioned challenges and opportunities. They provide information, insights, and analysis on how leaders seek to create a high-performance organization that operates through the lens of humanity. This book demonstrates both the setbacks and the breakthroughs that the Starbucks leadership has encountered as it has attempted to position its products and people to deliver consistent, engaging, and loyalty-enhancing experiences.

I have another compliment for Joe. There may not be a better interviewee that can make an interviewer feel that good about himself. At times, I had to remind myself who the “star” was. – My hat goes off to Dr. Joseph Michelli.
P.S. When you find out Joe’s next book subject, you will be anticipating the arrival for the next two years.
