November 24, 2009: I am not a reader, I'll be the first to admit that. It takes a lot for me to finish a book. I read this one within a week and found it truly inspirational. I love it!

November 23, 2007: Many will find the ideas and thoughts in 'Built to Serve' to be idealistic in nature. We can only progress if our goals are somewhat idealistic, so we are constantly striving to serve people better. The culture at United has always tried to put people first. At times it may be hard to see, but at the end of the day, serving the team member and our guests is at the core of every decision and action. If you take a step back and understand the message of 'Built to Serve' rather than mincing words, you should see a greater meaning that business' of today needs to hear. You may find my comments biased, as I have lived the culture for 25 years, leaving at one time only to return 3 years later.
