Howard Putnam, former CEO of Southwest and Braniff Airlines, presented his views on leadership January 31, as the keynote speaker for the second day of the Naval Academy Leadership Conference. “Attitude starts at the top,” said Putnam to an audience of students and faculty from both military and civilian universities. “Make your vision clear, and if you say your people are important, you better mean it.”
