A Lesson in Leadership: Be the Change-Maker. Yesterday, we had the privilege of touring the GIMPA (Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration) campus in Accra, led by Mr. Erasmus, a dedicated YALI staff member. As we walked through the historic premises, he shared captivating stories that left a lasting impression on me. One story that stood out was about a former president of Ghana (His Excellency John Dramani Mahama), who was the first sitting president to pass away while in office. He is remembered as one of the best leaders Ghana ever had, leaving a legacy of impactful leadership that continues to inspire. Another remarkable story Mr. Erasmus shared was about GIMPA itself. He pointed out a structure that once stood alone on the campus. The institute was on the brink of decline until one man—Professor Adel—stepped in to make a difference. Leaving behind a comfortable life abroad, this professor returned to Ghana when he heard that GIMPA was struggling. He transformed the institute, building the beautiful structures we see today and reviving its reputation. His actions not only saved GIMPA but also set a precedent for excellence and commitment to public service in Ghana. These stories reinforced a powerful lesson: it takes just one person to restructure a system and bring about the change that is desperately needed. One visionary leader, one committed individual, can reshape the future of an institution, a community, or even a nation. The impact of such leadership is profound and far-reaching. As I reflect on these lessons, I am inspired to be that change-maker—to step up, take responsibility, and drive the positive changes needed in my field and beyond. Whether in business, governance, or community service, each of us has the potential to be that one person who makes a lasting difference. Let’s embrace this responsibility and work towards a future where our contributions are felt and remembered for generations to come.

Ghana’s Potential: A Call for the Right Leadership “Ghana is a blessed country—rich in resources, culture, and potential. But we often fail to realize these blessings because the wrong people are in key positions, steering the ship in the wrong direction,” says Claudia Lomo, CEO of Glitz Africa. Claudia passionately believes that leadership should come with maturity, character, and resilience. “If I’ve built these qualities and I’m fit for the control room, why shouldn’t I fight to serve my country?” she asked. For Claudia, standing on the sidelines isn’t an option in a country where leadership often lacks vision and accountability. She refuses to be a spectator while Ghana struggles to harness its potential. Her message is clear: Ghana needs the right people in higher political positions—leaders who are prepared, principled, and driven to make a difference. What qualities do you think are essential for leaders to unlock Ghana’s full potential? #Leadership #GhanaRising #ServiceToNation #GlitzAfrica #BuildingTheFuture

In his first State of the Nation Address, President Advocate Duma Boko emphasized the need for reform of State Owned Enterprises (SOE's) for operational efficiency and enhanced performance. In this paper, We share insights on issues at hand and how they could be resolved to enable a thriving environment for high performing SOE'S.
