While Johnson signaled a year ago that he would soon leave his role, he has left Starbucks without a permanent leader in place. A perfect example of how Starbucks dropped the ball over the past year, and why Schultz may not be the ideal steward, even on a temporary basis, is the company’s ongoing struggle with unionization, with which Schultz has been intimately involved.
