Etihad Airways recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) to develop and deliver an executive leadership development programme.
The programme is exclusively designed for Etihad Airways and aims to strengthen and cultivate leadership skills, with a major focus on UAE national executives. The programme will also benefit Etihad Airways’ subsidiaries and its equity partner airlines.
After a rigorous assessment process, 30 senior executives were selected from across the organisation, including 15 UAE national employees, as well as two executives from Alitalia. Participants will undertake a comprehensive eight-month programme combining executive training with on-the-job learning and executive coaching.
Ray Gammell, Etihad Airways’ chief people and performance officer, said: “This programme demonstrates our commitment to development of our international and UAE national leaders. It will evolve our executives into better leaders who can embrace change, build effective teams and leverage diversity in our multicultural environment.”
Participants will also undertake long-term on-the-job strategic projects where they develop innovative business ideas. Executive one-on-one coaching and mentoring sessions will help support each student’s personal development by focusing on their individual areas of strengths and opportunities.
