Leadership? What’s LUV Got to Do with It!
Leadership has everything to do with LUV, according to management guru Ken Blanchard. He is joining forces with former Southwest Airlines president Colleen Barrett to present a free online seminar revealing the leadership secrets that have propelled Southwest Airlines (stock symbol‘LUV’) to unprecedented business success.
Drawing on themes in their new business book, Lead with LUV (http://www.kenblanchard.com/leadwithluv), these two legendary leaders will share what ‘leading with love’ means, why it works, and how it can help you achieve unprecedented business performance.
Participants will learn:
1. What ‘leading with love’ looks like in an organisational context
2. Love in action: what leaders need to do to make it work
3. 'Tough love’ and redirection - how to handle inappropriate behaviour or performance
4. Love and culture—building the right vision and helping people succeed in the long term
“I’ve always admired Southwest Airlines,” says Ken Blanchard. “They have succeeded in a tough industry by putting all 35,000 of their people first. Promoting Colleen Barrett to the top of their organisation, from the role of executive secretary, is an example of the type of thinking that makes them different from most other organisations. This is why I was so keen to work with her to capture the real-life leadership examples that have made this airline a model of good management.”
