There are leadership lessons in Southwest Airline’s fall from grace. The company has been a servant-leadership darling since it’s inception and co-founder Herb Kelleher applied the principles for decades before stepping down as CEO in 2001.

To thrive in a challenging environment, sales teams need a rock-solid grasp of the fundamentals and the biggest force-multipliers they can get their hands on.

Today, I want to write specifically about how high potential leaders get promoted to vice president or to whatever the entry level executive role is in their company.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

I recently conducted a study of my clients with for-profit businesses and found that most understand the importance of people but still put profits first.
