Jaiz Bank Non-Executive Director Ambassador Mustafa Sam made the following statement
“I discovered that it’s a very different approach to workshops than I’m used to having attended so many workshops organised by other organisations.”
“However, I discovered that TEXEM’s approach is quite different.”
The other faculty members include Prof. John Peters (Former Chair of the Association of MBAs that Accredits Harvard, INSEAD, Stanford, and London Business) and Prof. Paul Griffith (the world’s first Professor of Management to lead a team to launch a rocket into space).
In addition, Ambassador Charles Crawford (adviser to world leaders such as the late Queen of England and the President of the International Atomic Energy Agency) will be a faculty member at the upcoming executive leadership development programme.”TEXEM UK understands that staying ahead in the digital age necessitates more than simply understanding cutting-edge technology.”
“As a result, the programme focuses on providing participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to become exceptional leaders capable of driving their organisations to unprecedented success,” the statement said.
The possibility for a working tour to a leading organisation, where participants would get firsthand insights into tactics that produce real-world success, is a unique feature of the programme.
The benefits of participation in the curriculum, according to the statement, are numerous, as it will position participants as strategic leaders poised to flourish in the digital era.
“With high inflation, managing in a volatile foreign exchange world, rising operating costs, and stiff international competition as global economic challenges, global leaders must understand the pitfalls and opportunities of the digital age.”
“In today’s fast-paced business landscape, staying up to date on the latest technological tools is critical.”
“Participants will discover how to leverage digital advancements to gain a competitive edge,” according to the announcement.
Some prominent Nigerians who have participated in previous TEXEM programmes have praised the company.
“My favourite thing about the programme would be…drawing our attention back to…change, which has been a constant in life experiences,” Ifeanyi Ani, CEO of Total Pension CPFA and TEXEM alumni, said.
“You know, change in our lives, change in businesses,…business progress and the way we do things…For example, debates on cyber security and mental health.
“This isn’t just preparing us to be aware of what’s going on around us; it’s also preparing us personally, in terms of our mental health and paying attention to the ever-changing cyber security… Those are the qualities that I would say made it very, very interesting.”Strategic leadership is essential in the digital era, according to a former UK Minister for Africa.
According to Sir James Duddridge (Member of the UK Parliament and former Minister who served in three Prime Ministers’ cabinets), strategic leadership is a must in today’s digital age.
Duddridge, one of the faculty in TEXEM UK’s next senior leadership development programme, stated in a statement on TEXEM’s website (www.texem.co.uk) published by Caroline Lucas, Director, Special Projects.
He stated that, sadly, giving leadership in politics and business has become increasingly difficult in Africa and many other parts of the world.
According to the faculty, the digital age has many opportunities, but it also poses some concerns.
“A thriving political career or business can be destroyed by a single tweet or retweet.”
Business and political leaders must comprehend that their every word can be broadcast globally with the click of a mouse.
“It is well acknowledged that leaders must be consistent in their statements.
“What is less well understood is the need for safe spaces to develop ideas, test concepts, and challenge conventional wisdom away from the glare of the digital age,” according to Duddridge.
According to the announcement, the upcoming session, titled “Strategic Leadership for Success in a Digital Age,” will take place from August 21 to August 24 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in the United Kingdom.
The event is only open to Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors, CEOs, Chief Investment Officers, and Chief Operating Officers, according to the announcement.
“It will allow them to
unleash the full potential of strategic leadership and propel their enterprises to unparalleled success in today’s quickly changing digital landscape.
