The Head of E-Banking Operations at Universal Merchant Bank, Dr. Myles Christian Hagan gave a presentation on \u201cLeadership.\u201d He defined a leader as someone who can see how things can be improved and rallies people to move toward that better vision or communicates the vision effectively and motivates others to buy into the vision. \u201cEffective Leaders have the desire to learn, consistently adapt to the ever-changing market, communicate effectively and have a passion that motivates others to be the best,\u201d he said. He indicated that Leadership is guiding people using one\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hagan highlighted eight traits of an authentic leader, namely, Honesty, self-awareness, genuineness, consistency, purpose-driven, emotional intelligence, humility and ethics. He discussed ten Leadership principles, namely; Jesus is the head, trust, taking initiative \u2013(Nehemiah\u2019s principles), looking for a need, coming up with a solution, good judgement, speaking with authority, (know your stuff and be well prepared), encouragement, (commending the team or member), know what your absolutes are (integrity and truthfulness) and serve as an example (Jesus Christ left us the example of servant leadership).<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Hagan, in aspiring to become an effective leader, you must start with a blueprint in your mind, work hard and work smart, align your efforts with your company\u2019s goals, initiate more, don\u2019t just execute and become an expert at something.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a leader, always run the race of life with faith and you will always lead and be victorious in all situations. Dream big, if you focus on goals, you will overcome obstacles. Goals are unachievable if the focus is on obstacles.
\nThere is no substitute for hard work, aim at being the best not just in your country Ghana, but in the World,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He elaborated, that FGBM is a fellowship that aids its members to build their spiritual lives and also identify their God-given purpose in life. \u201cWe believe that God has given everyone a special gift and it is up to the person to identify its potential and work towards it through the power of the Holy Spirit to help humanity,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ahenakwa said FGBM builds platforms of networking, collaboration and ideas-sharing among leaders from diverse backgrounds. He added that they foster a sense of purpose, passion and responsibility among leaders to drive social impacts.<\/p>\n
