Greetings!
Last week I promised I would share
practices Joe Leonard, Air Tran Airways'
President and CEO indicated have helped
get the airline to the next level, so
here you are. These came
while responding to questions during a
breakfast gathering. He cited 5 key
factors;
-
Learn to delegate - and delegate for
real!
-
Let people go if they don't perform.
-
Move very fast. Insure your
organization is nimble, flexible and
executes on decisions quickly.
-
Hire good people. He favors talent
over experience.
-
Communicate and keep the "culture"
alive.
These practices are relevant in any
organization, small or large, public or
private and are no doubt pretty basic.
Through the years, they have produced
superior results for the company - in
spite of numerous challenges the airline
industry has faced. I hope they help
you and your organization too.
Warmly,
Founder
and President
