How does leadership succeed under pressure?
This module offers leaders an experiential and practice-oriented approach to key leadership competencies in complex and dynamic situations. The focus is on effective communication, decision-making under uncertainty, and the development of resilient teams within resilient systems.

The unique aspect of this module: The practical implementation of the theoretical content takes place in an Airbus A320 flight simulator.

Do you follow rules? Do you place your intuition above standardized procedures? Are you dominant in a team, or a team player? What leadership style do you live by?

In the flight simulator, all of this becomes tangible and observable.
