Gary Kelly and Southwest Make Zero Changes

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Well, unfortunately Gary Kelly and his peeps at LUV haven't done a darn thing since I wrote about Gary's LinkedIn Profile sucking. It's good because when I speak at conferences I can still use Gary Kelly's Profile as an example of a culture and brand being 100% different than the LinkedIn ...
