Corporate Culture Done Right: Southwest Airlines

November 29, 2009 at 9:00 pm by:  Dan Oswald

A colleague recently passed along a column written by Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly, which first appeared in the airline’s “Spirit Magazine.” The title of the piece was “Culture Done Differently.” In it, Mr. Kelly explains that at Southwest they try to keep their culture “supportive, active and fun.”

If you’ve ever flown on Southwest, you’ll know that not only do they talk the talk, but they walk the walk. Southwest’s company culture is not only reflected in its policies, but it oozes out from every employee.

Think about how neat it would be if more companies had a supportive, active and fun culture like the one at Southwest Airlines.

Kudos to Southwest for doing it right and for setting an example!

I also wrote about Southwest's culture in my Leadership blog just this week:
