Herb Kelleher, the former president, and chief executive officer for Southwest Airlines established something new, a vision for a new field of endeavor, and brought the unmanageable into being. His vision eclipsed and transformed what had been there. Kelleher stood by principles that his followers could align with and get behind. This was important because most people want to work for an organization where they believe they can make a difference. Getting strong alignment around clarity of purpose is never easy in business. Kelleher gave employees a direct line-of-sight from their daily contributions to a noble, heroic cause. "Our mortality signifies that we have one earthly chance to make a mark as a leader who accomplished something constructive for humankind, said Kelleher."
