Case study Kevin Johnson, CEO of Starbucks, faced a leadership test when two black men were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks. The men were waiting to meet a business associate, but they did not purchase anything while they were waiting. The store manager asked them to leave, and they refused, explaining that they were to meet someone. The manager called the police because the men refused to leave, and the police arrested them. Another patron at Starbucks recorded the arrest on her cell phone, and it quickly went viral. In an interview after the arrest, the woman who took the videos mentions that she had been sitting there for a while and wasn't asked to leave even though she didn't order anything. Additionally, the video shows the business associate of the black men showing up during the arrest, and he asks the manager and the police what the men had done wrong. The general public and those who witnessed the arrest labelled it discriminatory and racist. Q1. Find more about Kevin Johnson's action after this incident?
