Accra, July 14, GNA – The Institute of Directors-Ghana (IoD-Gh) and the EQUIP Ghana Beyond Success, a Subsidiary of the John C. Maxwell Initiative, have agreed to work together to raise and promote transformational leaders with core values and principles to make global impacts.
The agreement was reached when a delegation from the EQUIP Ghana paid a courtesy call on the leadership of the IoD-Gh at its offices at the SSNIT Emporium, Airport City, Accra on Thursday, 13th July, 2023.
At the meeting, the two institutions explored areas of collaboration to support the EQUIP Ghana Beyond Success Leadership Programme, which seeks to mobilise leaders for global transformation.
Mr. Eric Saah Nyuma, the African Regional Director of EQUIP Ghana Leadership, told the Ghana News Agency after the meeting that the Programme sought to impart values that would help build positive attitudes of leaders for national good.
He said he was confident that the partnership with the IoD-Gh would add value to the Organisation and help raise leaders in Ghana whose works would help transform others and build a prosperous society.
“Our leader, John C. Maxwell, believes that one is too small a number to make the difference. So, we find it a privilege to partner with the IoD-Gh knowing the vibrancy of such Organisation,” Mr. Nyuma said.
Rev. (Mrs.) Angela Carmen Appiah, President and Council Chair, IoD-Gh, said the Institute was excited about the partnership, adding that the two Organisations shared a lot of things in common where leadership development was concerned.
She said one of the challenges affecting leadership on the continent was the lack of ownership of processes and the disregard to responsible and accountable actions.
“We usually have great expectations, but we do not want to take part in leadership processes. We need to get involved because when our environments are better, we all enjoy,” she said.
