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.”

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:
