Emirates Backs Future Leaders
DUBAI, UAE, June 21, 2005. Emirates has reaffirmed its commitment to leadership development with the participation of a third group of managers in the Global Business Consortium run by the London Business School.
The three-year agreement with the school involves Emirates managers joining with their peers from other international companies such as British Telecom, Masterfoods, Oracle, SKF, Standard Chartered Bank and RWE Thames Water. The consortium activities, based on an interactive learning process, include a CEO challenge, Company Days hosted by each company, site visits, inter-company teams and visits to local organisations in the regions visited.
