In an effort to cultivate leadership insights and skills from the lives of transformational leaders, Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy (LJLA) has organised the second edition of its quarterly seminar series with the African Leadership Initiative – West Africa (ALIWA), a foremost leadership school for leaders in Africa and an extension of Aspen Institute, USA.

 

The theme of the Seminar, “Leadership Values and The Good Society”, aims to empower Fellows with practical knowledge and discussions centred on integrity, accountability, empathy, and inclusivity as foundational pillars for building a good Society.

 

One of the facilitators of the seminar series, Mr. Muhtar Bakare implored Fellows of the Academy to imbibe the lessons shared during their fellowship programme, which will aid their transformation into formidable leaders who offer innovative solutions to challenges, especially in the public sector.

 

“We believe that studying the lives of transformational leaders offers invaluable lessons for aspiring leaders, by dissecting their strategies, understanding their motivations, and learning from their successes and failures, the fellows gain a deeper appreciation for the art and science of leadership”, he said

 

The Executive Secretary of LJLA, Mrs. Ayisat Agbaje-Okunade emphasised the importance of the quarterly seminar as a catalyst for personal and professional growth, thereby equipping fellows with the skills and mindset necessary to effect positive change in their respective fields, by embracing the principles embodied by transformational leaders.

 

“The Seminar provides a unique platform for Fellows to engage in in-depth discussions, analyse case studies, and extract valuable lessons applicable to their leadership journeys”, she added.
