“As the former CEO of Southwest and Braniff Airlines, Howard Putnam is a veteran of one of the most volatile industries in today’s business world. He played an essential role in developing Southwest into the only airline to produce a profit in every quarter over the course of 25 years. He was also successful in leading Braniff International through the rigors of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This experience provides the foundation of Putnam’s work as a keynote speaker, author, and consultant. In these roles, and as summarized in his book, “The Winds of Turbulence,” he shares his insights into such essential corporate concerns as leadership, customer service, change and transformation, crisis management, and ethics. His personal story is exemplary, too. He grew up on a farm in Iowa, where he first learned to fly in his father’s old Piper Cub. He entered the airline business at the bottom, as a baggage handler at Midway Airport, in Chicago, and rose to the highest levels of the industry. The energy and warmth of those early years on the farm come through in his presentations, which now reflect the knowledge, experience, and wisdom of a distinguished business professional. “
