Leadership for Aviation Professionals

Leadership for Aviation Professionals

Leading an aviation department or team presents challenges that many other leaders do not face. Your clients and customers rely on you not only for good service, but also for their safety. There is often little or no room for error and that demands effective leadership at all levels. Commonly, training for new managers concentrates on management skills neglecting those leadership fundamentals that make managers more successful as leaders. Often, leaders have received little or no training in effective techniques for leading their teams and as a result have little understanding of their role as a team leader. To add to the difficulty, teams may sometimes include members who are not direct reports. That's why we offer Leadership for Aviation Professionals.

Leadership for Aviation Professionals is an intensive exploration into proven leadership fundamentals and techniques for better leadership in aviation. Designed specifically for aviation professionals, this workshop provides an opportunity for you, the supervisors and managers in the aviation business to learn skills and techniques that will make you more effective in this demanding environment.

By the end of the workshop, each participant will have a complete draft of a Personal Leadership Philosophy or PLP. The PLP is a document that helps them define how they will apply the leadership skills they have learned to their own unique situation. This tool helps leaders gain better self-awareness while also providing a way to articulate their leadership approach.

The workshop examines leadership fundamentals and techniques, better communication, and effective team building. But it isn’t just theory. The course will help you consider how to apply those skills to your own unique challenges.
