"Some blame airport executive's downfall on alleged 'Ryanair-style' leadership and combative approach to key stakeholders"
"With his robust leadership style, DAA boss Kenny Jacobs raised the hackles of the Dublin Airport middle management from his first day in the job."
"But over recent weeks, the mood at board level - and among key government officials - has shifted, due to his confrontational approach to the planning crisis facing the airport. And according to a source, it soon became clear that the writing was on the wall for the CEO."
Kenny Jacobs adopted a robust and confrontational leadership style that unsettled Dublin Airport middle management from his first day. Some observers characterize his approach as 'Ryanair-style' and combative toward key stakeholders. Recent handling of the airport's planning crisis further strained relations with the board and key government officials, shifting sentiment against him. The confrontational posture on planning issues eroded trust and support among senior stakeholders. A source indicated that these developments made the CEO's position increasingly untenable and that his departure became likely as a result.
