All is now set for the Africa Workplace Leadership Summit set to hold on 16th June, 2023 virtually, being put together by Fox Leadership Institute.
This “exceptional and epoch-making summit” as described by the convener, will see Africa business leaders and leaders of public institutions and government agencies gather at this Summit to network, collaborate across value chains and have conversations about leadership issues hindering productivity in their workplaces.
Attending this summit will be entrepreneurs and founders, executives and business leaders, thought leaders and experts, who will gather to discuss issues hindering productivity in the workplace and proffer solutions that are workable in the African context.
Godswill O. Erondu, convener of the Africa Workplace Leadership Summit, said, “Recent data by Gallup show that about 79% of the millions that work in organizations in Africa are not contributing meaningfully to the growth of their organizations. This is estimated to be costing organizations in Africa – public and private – over $200 billion.” “Which means that business leaders are getting much less results than they could generate in their workplaces,” he added.
Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and award winning interviews the summit will feature discussions bordering on critical issues about leadership in the workplace, with the goal being to engender action toward the creation of a workplace that’s safe, secure and conducive for great work that impacts positively on the bottomline – a workplace where workers are inspired to unleash their potential and flourish.
In a statement made available to us, the organizers said that, at the end of the summit a white paper will be released that business leaders can implement in their workplaces, adding that, they will produce Africa Workplace Magazine which will contain the presentations, panel discussions during the summit and more.
According to Godswill, “The time has come to revolutionize workplaces in Africa organizations such that innovation is increased, productivity improved and optimal performance experienced.”
