Alan Joyce on Qantas controversies, Michael O'Leary and learning from failure
Alan Joyce is the first to acknowledge his polarising reputation. During his time at the head of Qantas, his public profile oscillated between a cut-throat union buster to one of the best-regarded executives in Australia. Ahead of the release of Joyce's new book, Peter O'Dwyer sat down with the Irish aviation chief to discuss his turbulent career at the top of one of the world's biggest airlines. The pair delve into some of the biggest controversies of Joyce's career, such as the decision to ground Qantas flights in an industrial dispute with airline staff and the QF32 explosion, the state of play in the aviation sector and lessons learnt from his time as one of the most prominent Irish executives in the world. Landing every Thursday morning, The Business Post podcast, hosted by Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer, brings you the best interviews from leading business, political and entertainment figures from Ireland and across the world.
