English to Portuguese: Foreword by James C. Hunter of Lorraine Grubbs-West´s "Lessons in Loyalty"
Source text - English Foreword
As a secret Southwest Airlines admirer, I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to write the Foreword to this little gem of a book authored by Lorraine Grubbs-West. In it, Lorraine reflects upon her years of experience as an employee of Southwest Airlines, arguably the most successful and thriving airline in the United States, if not the world, today.
I have held Southwest Airlines in high regard (albeit from a distance) for many years. I often speak about this hugely successful airline in my leadership seminars and have included anecdotes about them in my writings.
Many books have been written about Southwest Airlines and its phenomenal achievements and successes. What is distinctive about this book is that the author gives us a unique perspective of what makes Southwest so successful from the inside. You are going to be treated to a true “insiders view” as the author recounts her 15 years working for Southwest, serving in senior executive roles including positions in leadership development, employment and marketing.
This Portuguese translation is being released in Brazil. Having traveled to Brazil six times over the past year conducting book tours and seminars, I know first-hand that most of the readers will know little or nothing about Southwest Airlines. Let me briefly acquaint you with a few facts along with some of the successes of this marvelous organization.
Translation - Portuguese Prefácio
Na condição de admirador secreto da Southwest Airlines, sinto-me honrado com o convite e aceito modestamente esta oportunidade de escrever o prefácio da pequena jóia que representa este livro de autoria de Lorraine Grubbs-West. Nele, Lorraine faz uma reflexão sobre seus anos como colaboradora da Southwest Airlines, incontestavelmente a companhia aérea mais bem-sucedida e próspera dos Estados Unidos – quiçá do mundo – nos tempos atuais.
Há muitos anos que tenho um conceito elevado da Southwest Airlines (ainda que à distância). Em meus seminários sobre liderança, menciono com freqüência essa empresa aérea extremamente bem-sucedida, além de incluir as particularidades de sua história em meus livros.
Já foram escritos vários livros sobre os êxitos e as realizações fenomenais da Southwest Airlines. Porém, este livro distingue-se dos outros pela perspectiva ímpar – interna – que a autora é capaz de nos apresentar sobre o sucesso da Southwest. Você terá acesso a uma “visão interna” real da autora mediante a narrativa de seus quinze anos de colaboração com a Southwest, como executiva sênior, inclusive em cargos de desenvolvimento de liderança, contratação e vendas.
Esta tradução para o português está sendo lançada no Brasil. Tendo feito seis viagens ao Brasil ao longo do último ano, realizando circuitos literários e seminários, tive a oportunidade de observar que a maioria dos leitores sabe muito pouco, ou quase nada, sobre a Southwest Airlines. Permita-me fazer um resumo de alguns fatos paralelos aos êxitos desta empresa maravilhosa.
