Modern Servant Leader

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. Often, following transitions in leadership, the principles of the predecessor are abandoned. However, internal successors were found and they retained servant-leadership principles for many years.

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.
