New CEO Kevin Johnson took over in March 2017, and times were already tough. His first order of business was to convince shareholders he had a plan to restore lackluster sales. Starbucks was suffering from the stiff competition of other restaurants, such as fast-food giant McDonald’s, and the fact that their mobile ordering platform is causing traffic jams in their stores. Essentially, Johnson became CEO just as the company reported earnings less than projected across most categories. However, the company claimed that it could still meet its annual earnings, although it revised its forecast downward from $2.14 to a range of $2.08 to $2.12. Starbucks said its mall-based Teavana sales were declining and it is pursuing strategic options for some of those locations.Even though Howard Shultz, the founder, and former CEO, stayed on as Chairman with the arrival of Johnson, the change caused the stock price to drop. Domestically, Starbucks is accelerating the roll-out of its lunch items…

The morale among FEMA employees was as bad as the agency’s performance. Having grown from a complicated background, the agency struggled to cope with an uncertain mission. FEMA’s predecessors, including parts of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the Roosevelt administration and the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration during the 1960s and 1970s, had for decades worked to provide disaster relief. Then, during the Cold War, it became responsible for planning to help the nation recover in case of nuclear attack. The agency became FEMA in 1979, but its very different responsibilities never did fit neatly together. It had the tough job of acting like a local fire department--it needed to be ready to respond instantly to a wide range of disasters, wherever they might occur. But unlike most local fire departments, it found itself chronically underfinanced. It was an independent agency without a cabinet-department home. No one wanted to spend much money on the agency in…

The recent widespread scandal at Wells Fargo jolted and shocked the corporate world. How could such internal corrupt and outrageously illegal and unethical activities by professionals have occurred? Wells Fargo is “an American multinational financial services company headquartered in San Francisco, California” with offices nationwide and “the world’s second-largest bank by market capitalization and the third largest bank in the U.S. by total assets.” In September 2016 it was discovered that the company was continuing to create fake customer accounts to show positive financial activity and gains. 5,000 salespeople had created 2 million fake customer accounts to meet high-pressure internal sales goals, including a monthly report called the “Motivator.” The out-of-control sales leadership pressured sales employees to meet unrealistic, outrageous sales targets. Dramatically unrealistic sales goals propelled by continuous pressure from management coerced employees to open accounts for…
