Pensamentos da Semana

1. Articles & Books

1.1. Respect and have plan for all the stakeholders in your Company. In this article from HBR ( September 2010 ) you can read how Timberland’s CEO on Standing Up to 65,000 Angry Activists.

Some conclusions :
a) When angry activists come at you, don’t stand there with your arms folded and your mind closed.

You may not agree with their tactics, but they may be asking legitimate questions you should have been asking yourself. And if you can find at least one common goal—in this case, a solution to deforestation—you’ve also found at least one reason for working with each other, not against.
b) On the other hand, don’t greet them naively with open arms.
For every common goal, half a dozen personal agendas are in play. Greenpeace’s include selling membership subscriptions as well as saving the world. If that weren’t true, the organization would be making more phone calls and fewer sexy headlines.
C) In times of tension, watch and listen.
That’s when you learn just how committed you are to your principles—and how committed your team and your partners and even your competitors are to theirs.

"We are living in a society where there is a need for human connection and a sense of community. And what we do every day is bring people together. People are using Starbucks stores as their own, and drinking coffee.
