Change doesn’t come from following the crowd.

Take inspiration from Howard Schultz, the visionary leader behind Starbucks, who redefined how the world experiences coffee. While others focused on speed and cost, he imagined a “third place” where people could connect, unwind, and enjoy premium coffee.

Schultz’s bold moves:

1. Transformed coffee from a commodity into a cultural experience.
2. Put employees first by offering healthcare and stock options.
3. Scaled globally while staying true to his vision of quality and connection.

The lesson? Outlier leaders see opportunities where others see limits. They disrupt industries, inspire teams, and redefine what’s possible.

The future of leadership belongs to those who dare to lead differently.

It’s your turn to lead differently.
