In case you missed it yesterday, Bill Hybels announced that Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, would not be presenting at the Global Leadership Summit. Schultz backed out at the last moment due to an online petition started to boycott Starbucks if he presented at the Summit.

I’ll let you watch the video of Bill at the Summit explaining the why? behind this. I watched this live and in person and I can tell you that people were spellbound. Hybels is an amazing leader. Absolutely phenomenal. This video exemplifies way. Take a look.

If you don’t want to watch the video, you can read the transcription below. (Sorry for the low quality. I had to take a picture of the official transcription. It was the only copy that existed!)
