In today’s episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Elizabeth Bryant, Senior Vice President & Chief People Officer at Southwest Airlines. Elizabeth brings a fresh perspective on why prioritizing investment in your workforce is paramount for business success.

Elizabeth goes as far as to say that, “your people are your success strategy for your future.”

Hosts Holly Tate, CMO at Leadr, and Matt Tresidder, CEO at Leadr, break down Elizabeth’s advice and debate the importance of people development. They explore why it’s no longer a nice to have for businesses looking to grow and thrive.
