Aviation Industry: Leadership Coaching for Risk-Based Decision Making

The Client

The client, the Head of Airside Operations at a major UK airport, leads a large team responsible for the safe and compliant management of the airport’s airside environment.

• Enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Over 40 leaders participated in the programme, which utilised Risk Discovery profiles to tailor the coaching to each individual’s strengths and areas for development.

Benefits

The coaching programme empowered the Airside Operations team to:

• Navigate significant challenges with confidence.
• Achieve outstanding regulatory audit results.
• Inspire other departments with their decisive, risk-based decision-making.
