I was flying on Southwest Airlines this week and they have some great articles in the current issue of their magazine that profiles their top leaders. One article, Wheels Up by Joseph Guinto, has a nice statement in it:
"Successful companies often mirror their top executives. If Apple Computer were a person, it'd be a lot like Steve Jobs. Same with Microsoft and Bill Gates, or maybe GE when Jack Welch ran it. Certainly Sam Walton and Wal-Mart. And, in the same way, Southwest Airlines is Herb Kelleher."
If you were the head of your company and that company mirrored YOU, what kind of company would it be?
