The leadership read

Alliances broaden the commercial surface, and the leadership need follows. Air Astana's partnership in the sector widens demand for commercial and alliance leaders who turn an agreement into realised value. Across Asia, watch whether dedicated senior ownership is put on it; unowned alliances quietly lapse.

Market context: Backdrop: a 104.6 (Hot) Talent Market Index (up 3.6 on the month) with Asia activity steady (+1.1pts).
