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.

This training provides a practical platform to study historical transformational leaders,their styles/strategies,successes & failures.Most importantly during the course of the programme there is subtle transfer of those same leadership traits in a practical manner such that it becomes part of the attendees.They are able to learn from a safe distance & friendly atmosphere amongst familiar pairs(fellows).

The practical training you have graciously rendered is an invaluable resource which as subtly been absorbed by all the participants whilst in a relaxed mood & will accompany them home upon which they will reflect relative to their individual capaticities over the course of time.The key lessons learnt will now be put to use (with individual modifications) to tackle & solve problems/challenges where we find ourselves or when we are called upon.I strongly believe this is a well tested & proven method.I thank you for this valuable leadership strategy.
