This week, participants of the Global CEO Africa Programme 2021 went through the first Module of the Programme at the Strathmore University Business School, Nairobi Campus.

This year’s Programme has drawn participants from Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Eritrea. The mixed pool of participants brought out the different African perspectives in the business space which gave rise to rich class discussions.

During the week-long class sessions, the CEOs interacted with renowned Faculty members and business leaders from East Africa and South Africa. Dr. George Njenga, Executive Dean at Strathmore University Business School, kicked off the class session with a discussion on Ethics in Leadership. Dr. Njenga emphasized the importance of ethical leadership in Africa and what implications this would have for the African continent.

Dr. Edward Mungai, CEO at the Kenya Climate and Innovation Center (KCIC), evoked an intense discussion on the need for corporate sustainability in African organizations. Dr. Caesar Mwangi, CEO of ICEA Lion Group, had an in-depth session with the CEOs on the definition of a good leader. “Leadership means different things to different people,” he noted.

Describing the Programme experience, Dr. Maxwell Okoth, CEO of RFH Group described the class discussions as rich and mind-opening. Chizo Malize, Managing Director, FITC Nigeria noted that the content of the Programme was well planned and thought through.

The Programme will culminate in a game at the Maasai Mara National Park on Saturday 10th July. The Next Module will take place at Lagos Business School and the Third and Final Module at the Yale School of Management in New York.

As an industry leader, you map out your company’s course, chart its strategy and foster a culture guided by clear objectives and a shared mission. Today the global, interconnected world calls for executive leaders who are uniquely attuned to the economic currents and market shifts that could advance or undermine their firm’s long-term sustainability.

The Global CEO – Africa Programme has been designed to enhance your strategic vision and equip you with new tools to better navigate disruptive trends that could impact your business. This Programme aims to bring together African business leaders to co-create the African leadership solution as they individually transform their organizations. It is delivered by Strathmore University Business School jointly with the Lagos Business School in Nigeria and the YALE School of Management in New York.
