Interesting question.
I once brought Sir TC from BHX to DXB. On entering the aircraft I expected him to at least introduce himself to the staff on duty in the first class cabin and the flight deck, but he just sealed himself off in the private suite for the flight.
Everyone has different leadership styles but I certainly expected something more motivating for the staff on the 'shop floor' such as getting a feel for the issues affecting the front line... I really can't imagine the CEO of Google or Apple walking across the factory floor ignoring people.
Guess that's just me as I'm used to needing to display good leadership as Captain to ensure the safe journey of a 450 seat airborne cruise ship.
So-called "Captain of Industry"...? I am afraid from my experience I would say NOT. Shame really
, has the power to make such a difference to the airline's failing reputation even in the face of Emiratisation of the upper echelons of EGHQ.
