Episode 4: Coaching Sports and Mastering Coffee – Featuring: Glenn Hartman, Starbucks
Summary: Starbucks' SVP of Channel Development, Glenn Hartman, has built a successful career in leadership—from a 25-year stint at P&G where he led 3,000 people to his current role at Starbucks. But the force behind his impressive credentials is a passion for helping others reach their full potential. Known as “Coach Glenn” by his friends and coworkers, he applies a lifelong love of sports—both as a student-athlete at Yale and a coach of football, baseball, and soccer—to his unique leadership approach.<br> His investment in Starbucks partners (employees) translates to their customer relationships, also. Glenn says that “all great customer experiences begin with creating a great employee experience.” He talks to host Chad Quinn, Ecosystems’ President and Founder, about his life mantra to “live, love, and leave a legacy,” his experience meeting farmers in Costa Rica, and his journey to becoming a Starbucks Coffee Master.
