SUCCESS STORY: READINESS TESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE
TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF PROMOTION
Emerging leaders at Brisbane Airport Corporation were seeking more opportunities to develop, grow and lead so the Altitude Emerging Leader Program was established.
The Altitude Program provided readiness testing and challenged their skills in a complex and dynamic infrastructure environment.
Participants were able to see beyond traditional leadership opportunities in a flat organisational structure and create their own.
