Having a System Makes Life Better…
I once hated to fly Southwest Air…
I called it the “cattle call”…
I loved the energy of the company…the way they treat employees…their ability to remain profitable in a challenging market…
…but I hated flying them. I always seemed to end up stuck in the middle seat behind two really big guys…
I would choose another airline whenever I could…
But then I learned their system….
Once I learned the system, and developed my own strategy for traveling within the Southwest system, I was able to check-in early online, get a good number in which to board the plane, and find a good seat….
Having a system helped me love Southwest…
Now I actually choose Southwest over other airlines anytime I can…
That story illustrates an important principle in life and leadership…
Sometimes that which you dread doing or hate the most, just needs a plan…a better system…
Develop or learn the system and it will make life easier and you’ll better enjoy a more successful ride…
What in your life needs a better system for the new year?
