PREAMBLE 

The need to raise transforming leaders of integrity who serve as trusted stewards of public and private responsibilities and resources; and humbly handle power, privileges and positions of leadership, is critical to Africa’s transformation in contemporary times. 

Ghana can be positively transformed by discovering, developing and deploying transforming leaders of integrity.  

Improved leadership is evidently an essential part of Ghana’s economic, political, moral and social development given the vast resources with which we have been endowed.

 

Program Rationale 

Uncertain and volatile situations, such as the current COVID-19, call for leadership and governance that is not only adaptive but most importantly transformational in its approach which cares not for itself but also for the world at large because of our interconnectedness.

The need to raise transforming leaders of integrity who serve as trusted stewards of public and private responsibilities and resources; and humbly handle power, privileges and positions of leadership, remains critical to Africa’s transformation. Ghana can be positively transformed by discovering, developing and deploying transforming leaders of integrity. Improved leadership is therefore envisaged as an essential part of Ghana’s economic, political, moral and social development. This position is premised on the vast natural resources endowed within Ghana! Which calls for programs that will respond to this situation.
