Leadership Development and Succession Planning

3-day (12 hours) LIVE virtual classroom course

How do you become a good leader? Is it the same as being a good manager? IATA’s Leadership Development and Succession Planning course will help prepare an effective manager to become a successful leader. You will develop skills that can be applied efficiently in your current position, especially when teams are working remotely and both leaders and managers need effective virtual communication. More importantly, these skills will be equally useful as our industry experiences periods of expansion and growth, regardless of how our workplace and work processes evolve. The lasting value of the course will come from your subsequent implementation of a “Personal Development Plan” and other written materials that you will develop with the guidance of the instructor.
