The INT’s dream is to develop value-grounded,
no-excuse leaders that will transform their organisations, communities and
nations to greater levels of performance and achievement.
“The vision of INT is to develop “no-excuse” leaders
of integrity and exceptional organizational skill from both the private and
public sectors throughout the world,” the Institute said.
It stressed that such leaders will “proffer
performance instead of pronouncements; expertise and competence instead of
title and position; bold development initiatives instead of seeking handouts;
respect and honour for our people instead of control and abuse; and leave
legendary positive impact in the continent instead of failures and excuses.”
With an increasing population in Africa, currently close
to one billion, INT said it is extremely important and strategic that current
and future generation of African workers, managers, and leaders, who would have
to lead Africa out of her predicaments, be exposed to responsible, high
integrity leadership and high-quality management principles if only to preserve
gains made so far by past administrations.
On this backdrop, the INT announced it will be
holding a Leadership Seminar on “Integrity leadership and quality management
principles” at the Paradise Suites hotel in Kololi, Gambia on 17 and 18 September,
2012.
The INT said it targets nine spheres of society
including the government, education, business, arts and culture, music and
entertainment, sports, social services, communication and news media, and
religious sectors.
Outcome
The expected outcomes of the colloquium are to:
“Provide participating organisations the opportunity to align vision, mission,
structure, and programmes with purposeful, integrity leadership principles and
quality management good practices;
Assist participating organisations to develop
practical, relevant, implementable, auditable, and continuously improved and
maintained for nations of Africa in the areas, programmes;
Assist organisations reevaluate and crystallize road
maps and streamline standard operating procedures for effective achievement of
set objectives;
Create a forum for establishment of appropriate
network for effective, synergistic national impact; Organisations that are
better structured and skilled to fulfill individual and collective mandates;
and to change weak mindsets to stronger ones through exposure to superior
leadership and management paradigm.”
