✈ 🏈 Innovation in Action: American Airlines' Super Bowl Strategy American Airlines just pulled off an innovative move for the Super Bowl, changing flight numbers to match the jersey number / album title of stars like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. It’s a simple yet brilliant way to stay relevant and connected to current events. Why is this exciting? It’s a perfect example of how being creative and adaptable can make a big impact. In my work, helping organizations become more innovative and relevant, this is precisely the kind of thinking we strive to inspire. It’s about understanding your audience and what’s happening in the world, and then acting on it in a way that resonates. This approach by American Airlines demonstrates the power of quick, creative thinking. In a world where trends shift rapidly, their ability to connect with the excitement of a major event like the Super Bowl shows the value of staying agile and responsive. I help businesses tap into this kind of innovative thinking. It's about more than just clever marketing; it's about creating experiences that align with your audience's interests and the current cultural landscape. American Airlines' move is a great example of how to blend current events with business in a memorable way.

Stay or go after a takeover: Amex & CWT I've been there.. Company takeovers can be stressful, leaving you to decide whether to stay or explore new opportunities. Here's a framework to navigate this: -Research the new company. Culture fit? Leadership style? Speak to your network. -Evaluate options. Weigh pros & cons of staying vs. leaving. Have someone else challenge your assumptions. -Make a decision that aligns with you. Never mind what others think, it's your decision. There's no one-size-fits-all answer. By following this framework, you can approach this decision with more clarity and confidence. #careerdecision #careerdevelopment #careercoaching

Lately, I've been reflecting on what drives teams to achieve extraordinary accomplishments. Yesterday's Southwest Airlines announcement highlighted the importance of inclusion through communication in leadership. Prioritizing employees, shareholders, and customers over the media is crucial for success. Our team has embraced intentional inclusion through communication as we have evolved. Disagreement is natural, but involving key stakeholders in discussions is vital. Southwest's recent announcement only emphasizes the value of inclusion through communication. #inclusionthroughcommunication

We need empathetic leaders. Here’s a few tips on how to raise your empathy quotient.

we always need to revisit our way and think about it

Wow. thanks for sharing your story. I can relate to the self worth aspect

Empathy builds relationships, creates new opportunities to collaborate and helps you lead with greater passion, purpose and love. When you genuinely care for others, they know it. This is why empathy is a vital leadership skill. Few leaders understood and exemplified this better than the late Herb Kelleher, founder and CEO of Southwest Airlines. He once said, “The business of business is people.” When you begin each day, think about one way you can help someone. Be willing to listen. Think about how you feel when someone applauds or congratulates you after you complete a deliverable, win a new deal or finish a project. Deep down, we yearn for validation. It feels good! To form deep connections, show you care about your people — beyond a shared objective. Southwest Airlines was founded on the premise they could “democratize the skies." Sure, their low prices and “point to service” model helped. But it was the culture Kelleher engendered and wove into the fabric of their values, mission, purpose, and vision that contributed to their success. There’s a reason Southwest’s NYSE ticker symbol is “LUV.” Their fearless leader led from the heart—with a warrior spirit, love and empathy. He built relationships that endured.
