Wednesday 15th of June 2022
Qatar Airways and GE Aviation have teamed up to offer a specialized training program called 'Leadership, Future, and Culture' (LFC). Qatar Airways' national senior managers attended the one-week workshop, which was aimed to connect and enhance their leadership skills.
“The Al Darb Qatarisation programme continually provides unique opportunities for Nationals designed to elevate them to excellence and success. Within this framework, Qatar Airways strives to further support the community and gear up for the future. Through this special programme collaboration with GE Aviation, National Senior Managers acquired the necessary information to boost their leadership skills and reinforce their knowledge on perseverance and maintaining smart objectives, as well as helping them facilitate an efficient working environment within Qatar Airways”. Expressing his enthusiasm over the course is the Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr. Akbar Al Baker.
The 'Leadership, Future, and Culture' training program was developed to help National participants have a better grasp of how to further evolve and shape leadership in Qatar's culture. Employees from other sectors and industries in the aviation industry have also taken part in this program, which has benefited Nationals by allowing them to learn from other leaders and obtain new insights.
By presenting themes such as Leading in 2025, Coaching as an Alternative Mode, Neuroscience of Success, and Storytelling, GE experts demonstrated a variety of ways to promote leadership abilities through the emphasis on building teams.
“Qatar Airways has always sought to enhance its employees’ careers, by providing the best innovative training programmes to develop and further enrich their skills and abilities. By providing our National Senior Managers with this unique training programme, we are ensuring the progress and professional development of our National leaders, while asserting Qatar Airways leading position”. Sharing her thoughts is Qatar Airways Senior Vice President Nationalization and Special Projects, Ms. Nabeela Fakhri.
The 'Leadership, Future, and Culture' event was hosted at GE's Crotonville facility in Ossining, New York, and included an interactive forum that provided Qatar Airways' National leaders with instructions on how to resolve conflicts and overcome difficult challenges.
To advance their knowledge and abilities, all leaders were offered the option to participate in innovative aviation courses sponsored by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The workshops encourage participants to get out of their comfort zones and learn more about the aviation sector.
“GE Aviation was proud to partner with Qatar Airways and GE Crotonville to deliver the (LFC) program. Crotonville was established in 1956 is believed to be the world’s first corporate university. Its mission is to inspire, develop and connect the leaders of today and tomorrow and as such, it represents the very epicentre of GE culture and learning. The Leadership, Future & Culture program was specially designed for selected strategic customers to replicate the type of learning experience GE leaders receive at the Crotonville campus. We were pleased to share GE’s approach to leadership development with Qatar Airways and look forward to continuing this leadership journey with future participants”.
