MDI, GIMPA hold public lecture

The Management Development Institute (MDI) in collaboration with the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) last Tuesday organized a public lecture during their public sector management training of trainers program held at the Corinthia Atlantic Hotel in Banjul.

Over 40 participants from the public and private sectors attended the lecture on “Leadership: a factor in national development.” According to Professor Stephen Adei, rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), who  delivered the over 2-hour lecture, “leaders manage significant changes and paradigm shifts while managers focus on systems, efficiency, marginal changes and doing things right.”

According to the professor “leadership is cause, everything is effect.” Professor Stephen Adei thus: “The responsibility of leadership is  enormous. It is however the responsibility of all, especially the middle class, academia, media, development partners, to work to increase the capacity of existing leaders and to enhance the supply and demand of quality leadership in Africa in future.
