Welcome message from Coordinator


Greetings! You are welcome to the Center of Leadership and Proessional Development section. I am hopeful that even as you read and find out more about us, you will be excited and encouraged to join us.

Leadership is an essential ingredient in the success or failure of organizations, companies and corporate institutions. Dr Myles Munroe[1] (2005) describes leadership as “the capacity to influence others through inspiration, motivated by a passion, generated by a vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.” Howard (1996) further describes leaders as “persons who, by word and/or personal example, markedly influence the behaviours, thoughts and feelings of a significant number of their fellow human beings.” Professional development on the other hand, can be explained as the on-going/continuous enrichment and preservation of one’s knowledge, skills, competencies, abilities and experiences.

Leadership in today’s world have a number of issues to grapple with; they range from corporate decisions which are expected to lead to growth and survival of organisations in an ever competitive world, to issues bothering on trust, honesty, integrity, uprightness, transparency and ethics/morality, among others. In addition to this, leaders of institutions and organisations are always putting together systems and structures to ensure their employees and team members have the requisite and up to date knowledge about their areas of expertise. There is therefore the need for a world class institutions, well versed with the current trends in leadership and professional development, to assist all categories of leaders including potential leaders and for that matter employees to acquire the right knowledge, attitude and skills and gain mastery in their area of expertise and lead their organisations into growth.
