Experience as what? A politician? The Job of CEO of billion dollar company is quite similar to Executive position in government, other than Governor I'm not sure what could prepare you better. Clearly someone like Obama had less qualifications.
Better than the reply I was trying to come up with to that post.
Totally different kinds of management. CEOs can fire anyone who gets in their way. Elected officials generally cannot.
Just because Trump is an example of failing to adapt ones approach doesn't mean another CEO couldn't deftly do so. Just about any other CEO one could credibly name as a possibility would likely be more intelligent, adaptable, and nimble than Trump.
Schultz, you likely know, is toying with the idea of running for president. He had a book event at Barnes & Noble in NYC (standing room only, based on the photograph), and someone in the audience yelled out - well, I can't print it here, but you can check out the link.
The democrats are scared to death of this guy. Centrist/independent types are liking Schultz at this stage. He could be Ross Perot 2, only this time it will be the democrats who will suffer.

That may be true and almost undoubtedly is, in spite of the fact that it sets a pretty low bar. Nevertheless, it's a significant difference that seems worthy of consideration.

Obviously there is differences, there will be difference among companies. The key point is they are both management positions overseeing a very complex structure.
The last thing we need is another billionaire business man who thinks that his money qualifies him for the presidency. He has no experience in government, in any kind of public governance, or in international relations and diplomacy. His motivation is pretty clear: he is afraid Democrats will raise HIS income tax. He is running out of pure self interest. Time to put to rest the false idea that if you can run a business, you can run the government.
Trump had no experience in government.
Starbucks can be found in 62 countries.
Given coffee does not grow in the US, Starbucks relies on imported product from Latin America, Africa and Asia. Reportedly, it’s all ethically- sourced. Starbucks invests in growing communities. In contrast, all Trump retails products were sourced from China, India, Vietnam, Honduras and Bangladesh.
Starbucks has been a publicly- traded corporation for nearly 30 years, meaning the business’s financial informatiin has been public information, unlike privately- held Trump Org.
I am politically agnostic and welcome a strong Independent ticket. Regardless of strength, no Independent candidate has access to the sources of funding the Republican and Democrat do.
I completely agree. How dumb would anyone have to be - even before Trump - to imagine that the position of the presidency can be well-filled by anyone with money, but devoid of experience? His motivation is irrelevant to me. Even if his ideas totally aligned with mine, I still don't want a novice as my president. Nor as my plumber, nor as my physician, nor as my accountant.
And yet, Trump is POTUS.
