EXAMPLE: Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airlines, died on January 3, 2019. He developed a company around a culture of caring for people. One of his famous quotes was: “Your employees come first. And if you treat your employees right, guess what? Your customers come back, and that makes your shareholders happy. Start with employees and the rest follows from that.”
