Apprentice Blog Post

In my opinion, the projects that VersaCorp and Protege completed were a very good way to tell if the had good leadership skills. You could tell that the people who stepped forward and took charge were the one with the good leadership skills. I would not make a good candidate for the apprentice because I don't have very good leadership skills and I'm not very business smart. A good task for the winning team to do is to be in charge of a company for a day to see how they do. If I was in bill's position I would choose to make the golf course in California because I have always wanted to go to California.

Starbucks:

To say Starbucks purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees is very true. That’s the essence of what we do – but it hardly tells the whole story..

Our coffeehouses have become a beacon for coffee lovers everywhere. Why do they insist on Starbucks? Because they know they can count on genuine service, an inviting atmosphere and a superb cup of expertly roasted and richly brewed coffee every time.

Toms:

In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS^®, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One.^™

Realizing this movement could serve other basic needs, TOMS^® Eye wear was launched. With every pair purchased, TOMS^® will help give sight to a person in need. One for One.^™

"I was so overwhelmed by the spirit of the South American people, especially those who had so little, and I was instantly struck with the desire — the responsibility — to do more."

—Blake Mycoskie
