Cross-cultural leadership[edit]
I-LEAD[edit]
The intercultural Leadership Engagement and Development Program (I-LEAD) was developed by Gianasso in collaboration with Brimstone Consulting Group [17] and launched at IATA in 2007. The I-LEAD program provides a practical implementation within business of the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) concept developed by the Cultural Intelligence Center. It aims to develop culturally intelligent leaders with the capability to run operations across geographical boundaries. Change agents form 'Western' and 'non-Western' backgrounds share experiences and best practice. These cross-cultural learnings are then fed back to the wider company through the change agents.[18] Dr David Livermore, leader of the Cultural Intelligence Center said the I-LEAD program offered “a promising case study of how building cultural intelligence not only makes for a more respectful, humane organization but is also directly tied to efficiency and overall success.”.[19]

While at IATA, Gianasso was the founder of the Global Aviation Human Capital Network,[20] the professional network of the airlines’ global heads of Human Resources. The Network is designed to help spread best practice throughout the industry. Along with a series of local events, the network holds an annual Global Aviation Human Capital Summit.[21] The Network was officially launched during the second Summit, which took place in November 2012 at Colombo, Sri Lanka.[22]
