There is nothing more powerful a company leader can say in response to a crisis than, "I'm sorry, and we know we failed you." Accountability is critical in leadership, and it's just as true when it comes to the leadership of all entities, from small brands to multinational corporations. The best leaders don't place blame on others, deflect mistakes, or dodge questions. They stand up and say, "I take responsibility for what happened." One of the strongest statements a CEO can take in response to a crisis is an authentic, face-to-face message, like this from the CEO of Alaska Airlines in response to the recent Boeing 737-9 MAX incident. If you're an Alaska Airlines customer, how does this message make you feel about the brand and its leadership? https://lnkd.in/gjzKcAJR

🌟 Recently, I had the chance to watch an interview of the owner of Aircel on social media, and it was truly inspiring! 🌟 The insights shared on lateral thinking and the importance of focus were phenomenal. It’s amazing how these concepts, when applied correctly, can drive both personal and professional success. Lateral thinking encourages us to look at problems from new and creative angles, fostering innovation and unique solutions. Meanwhile, maintaining focus ensures that our energy and efforts are directed towards achieving our goals, without getting sidetracked by distractions. In a fast-paced world, balancing creativity with a disciplined approach is key to standing out and achieving long-term success. The Aircel owner’s perspective has certainly motivated me to adopt these principles more consciously in my own journey. If you haven’t seen the interview yet, I highly recommend checking it out. Let’s embrace lateral thinking and focus to unlock new possibilities! 🚀 #Inspiration #LateralThinking #Focus #Leadership #Innovation

It was once rare for me to hear of a 'Leadership Shake-up'. Now it's become another usual news article - even here in this tiny island nation. I respect Mr. Calhoun and have read of the unfortunate accident and I have nothing to say of Boeing. However, what interests me is this: With 'Leadership shake-up' occuring quite commonly now, does our present time now demand a new approach to Leadership? And with that, must our workforce also align herself to the new approach - in support of their respectful leader? #Leadership #paradigm #teamwork #changes

FLORIDA- Insights from United Airlines (UA) internal leadership conference, as conveyed by aviation observer JonNYC, indicate discussions about the airline's potential plans to establish a hub in Florida. United Airlines strategically positions itself in key cities renowned for premium passenger traffic through its hubs #UnitedAirlines #UnitedAirlinesFloridaHub #UnitedAirlinesHubs #UnitedAirlinesNewFlights #UnitedAirlinesNewHub #UnitedAirlinesNewHubatFlorida #unitedairlinesnews

Before I gained any sort of leadership role in the airline industry, I spent time in airport operations. In the very beginning, I cleaned airplanes. Then, I worked as a gate agent and even trained as a flight attendant and I maintain to this day, that public-facing roles in aviation are some of the hardest in the world. Every role in a business holds equal significance. This belief (and experience first hand) has always benefited my leadership abilities. It's crucial to understand what's going on with everyone around you on the day-to-day to make the best decisions for the organization as a whole. #Leadership #Compassion #Understanding
