The participants gained a deeper understanding of governance frameworks, compliance, and risk management strategies tailored to the university environment.
Participants explored various leadership principles, strategies for motivating teams, and the importance of strategic planning. Through interactive workshops and case studies, participants honed their leadership skills and learned how to foster a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
Participants engaged in team-building activities, problem-solving exercises, and discussions on building cohesive and high-performing teams. The training emphasised the importance of fostering a collaborative atmosphere among faculty and staff.
Mr. Ayim emphasised the importance of effective communication as a cornerstone of success in any organisation.
