7. For example, Southwest Airlines:
Airlines are oBen hot-spots for dissa-sfied employees, and
therefore dissa-sfied customers. Southwest Airlines goes against
those trends by communica-ng their goals and vision. They
create a unified team with a common purpose.

more to make customers happy. Employees feel
empowered and help one another meet the vision of
the company.

Adobe is a company that challenges its employees and
gives extra trust to their decision making skills and avoids
