Aviation Leadership


Develop and learn to use practical and effective leadership skills for public and private sector aviation management, particularly incident response aviation. Gain a thorough understanding of how to make the best decisions possible through establishing situational awareness. Emphasis is on developing leadership through communications, ethics and values. You also learn to establish and enforce performance standards by exploring the four standards of decision making: establishing a culture of mutual respect; developing trust; maintaining effective communications; and interpreting information to establish situational awareness.

Learn to create an effective safety management system by establishing accountability, responsibility and a culture of safety. The course is divided into four sections: Foundations of Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Team Development and Conflict Resolution, and Applications of Leadership in High Stress/Time Critical Environments.

Guest lecturers join the instructor to provide additional depth to course materials.
