Airport Leadership Development Program

Abstract

Future airport leaders require a deeper understanding of current issues and critical concerns as seen from the top of an airport organization. There are few low-risk settings where airport executives can exercise self-evaluation of leadership and decision-making skills with a group of their peers and mentors and further develop the business acumen needed to direct public- and private-sector organizations in the airport industry. This publication provides all the components for a turn-key program that can be used by industry associations, academic institutions, airport organizations, and others to assist existing and future airport leaders to assess, obtain, and refine airport-industry leadership skills. The program includes forms for a full 360-degree individual assessment of core leadership traits. A complete facilitator guide with Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and participant workbooks and materials are also included on the CD-ROM, CRP-CD-133, that accompanies the print version of the report. The CD-ROM is also available for download from the Transportation Research Board's website as an ISO image.
