Global Management Consultants completes prestigious leadership training project for Air Charter International FZE

Air Charter International outsourced its leadership training and development of 60 of its senior and fast track managers and supervisors, to the region's well established consultancy firm, Global Management Consultants, who were responsible for the design and delivery of over 4 months training initiative.

'Designed to guarantee positive results and improvement in people skills, this type of approach towards the development of people, has been tried before with other leading Middle Eastern organisations such as Mobilink, part of Orascom Group, Emirates Airline, Nine West, Aldo, Visa Card, Master Card, Cisco, Girodano, ETA ASCON Group M.E. and so on,' said Saira Akbar, Chief Trainer & CEO, Global Management Consultants.

'We have worked with several service based companies in the past on the same lines and ensured that the leadership skills and business goals are achieved through the training and development of the employees. We have carefully designed the 4 months program with an upbeat over all theme "Evolve - High Impact leadership Program" to address these challenges.' Saira further reiterated.

During the training program, Global's partners services : Inscape Publishing, offered a DiSC-based profiling system, to make managers more aware of their personal and professional profile, Business Tools for Innovation, to better align managers with ACI's bottom line goals, to assist the managers throughout their path towards leadership.

'Prior to commencing training, one to one in-depth meetings, conducted by Global Management Consultants, revealed that most of the executives lack 'self awareness'. That's the missing ingredient. Emotional intelligence, another significant aspect, which plays a much larger role than what most people realize. In today's time, Managers and supervisors who are better aware of their strengths and weaknesses and are willing to work on them tend to be better leaders,' Akbar added.

Ares of actualization for the delegates were :

• Risk taking, in spite of mistakes - in other words, not be afraid of making mistakes
• Managing peers "older" than me
• Cultivate wisdom and intellectual abilities amongst the team
• How not to be territorial rather be team oriented

The participants of the training programme will be awarded a course completion certificate of competence at a graduation ceremony which will be held after the completion of the training programme. The certificates will be issued by Global Management Consultants in conjunction with Air Charter International FZE, UAE.
