Breaking Through the Clouds and Finding the Blue Sky

Alaska Air Group chairman Brad Tilden, who retired as CEO in
March, reflects on the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned
in the nine years he led the Seattle-based airline. The
self-confessed airline geek who 'loves the smell of jet fuel in
the morning' talks about transcending the pandemic, what he is
most proud of during his time as Alaska CEO, and how to spot the
right talent for the airline industry. Like him, they all
'believe in the magic of flight'.


Hosted by Joseph M. Phillips, dean of Seattle University’s Albers
School of Business and Economics, The Leadership Playbook asks
top executives from the business world's most recognizable brands
and companies about the stories behind their success, their
leadership secrets, and the biggest obstacles they've faced and
