Getting the best from your people

Organisation design, performance improvement and leadership development are under-developed in the airline industry. This is peculiar given that airlines, more than any other industry, are truly a people business.

Airlines constantly weather a cycle of growth and retrenchment, struggling with what to do with their employee base. The staff base is often static and unchanging, left inflexible by a unionised environment or the inherent incentives to accumulate benefits through tenure. From top to bottom, airlines often struggle to develop their most talented people, suffer from suboptimal organisation structures, few if any have any kind of performance management programme, and executive coaching is conspicuous by its absence.
