Nuts About Southwest

This is the third of a series of future posts about our new Southwest One Report ™—a single report on our triple bottomline of Performance, People, and Planet adhering to Global Reporting Initiative standards.

I was visiting a class in our University for People recently and overheard a conversation by two Leaders who were in town for a workshop.  One Leader stated “Being a Manager is a job description, becoming a Leader is a choice.”   Wow, he nailed it.

Today was a great day !   Bonnie Endicott, who manages our MIT (Managers-in-Training) program, and I were debriefing the first week of 2009 MIT that wrapped up last week.  We hosted 56 Leaders at Headquarters for a high-impact  and intense, Leadership Development experience.  The week was fantastic and the Leaders in both the Level I and II programs are top-notch!
