My Soul Mate I never thought I would meet the other "half of my orange." "Offspring" was not in my vocabulary, until I saw him, the entity of my imaginings. As he roamed the halls, strutting as though he possessed the building, he consumed my every thought. Every muscle he owned protruded through his uniform, his bulky, curly, caramel, tresses chiseled high and tight. The looks he granted me reassured my interests. He would be the father of my children. He dreaded our visit to Texas; we would
and the emotions that sight evoked in me, you would be reading for a very long time and what I did this morning would indeed present itself in quite an extraordinary light.

As the 62-year old Smith retires this month as Starbuck’s CEO, he will be remembered for his leadership in the company by turning the inspiration and vision behind Starbucks into a reality.

Today, there are around 9,000 stores occupied over 39 countries in addition to the 1,500 planned to open
Required Qualities The responsibilities of the servant leaders go beyond organizational goals and development of subordinates, responsibilities extend into all stakeholders, internal and external, towards the corporate and societal community (Peterson et al., 2012). The qualities reach into ethical and moral values of the CEO as a person and their reflection of the corporate entity (García-Sánchez et al., 2013).

Identity. It’s a broad and difficult concept. As Australians, our identity is multi-faceted, having various different expressions. One aspect of my sense of Australian identity is masculinity and the idea of the “Aussie Battler.” An Aussie Battler is a man from the working class, a person who has pride in the country they live in.

This has all along been the case. To accentuate this phenomenon, there was a time Howard Schultz had to travel to Italy to explore more of the Italian coffee tastes offered in Italy coffee bars and come back to customize the same in America. Unfortunately, upon his return he resigned from Starbuck and formed his own company. However, a few years after he formed his company, Starbuck went on sale and this led Howard Schultz and other investors to mobilize resources and purchased Starbuck. Schultz’s
