Students
lining up by the road sides to wave small handy flags at executives seated in
luxury cars with tinted glasses is not uncommon. In fact, such students and
pupils are always looking forward to such experience, where they can stand few
miles away from the car conveying the executive. It was usually out of
magnanimity that some of these leaders take peeps out of the cars to wave hands
even with the presence of heavy security.
This act
not only made our leaders appear untouchable but also unreachable. Thus, there
exist a huge gap between what our leaders are doing and what indeed the
followers want and need. In return the sense of followership is appearing to be
on the decline. However, for a nation to develop, there has to be a significant
synergy between good leadership and followership.
To close this
huge gap that is withering the efficiency of our leadership structure, Conrad
Clark Nigeria Limited is staging a Leadership-Thought risk summit on 17th
of September, 2020 through a virtual platform in conformity with the ongoing
social gathering restrictions towards curbing the further spread of Covid19.
The
5th edition of the Nigerian Risk Awards and summit, (NRAs 2020) will
have the risk leadership summit addressing the leadership and followership with
theme: Leadership vs Followership Risk; Uniting a Divided People, and
the summit will be chaired by Mrs. Ibukun
Awosika (Chairman, First Bank Nigeria Limited/CEO and Founder of The Chair
Centre Group) and keynote paper shall be delivered by Prof. Karuti Kanyinga (University
of Nairobi). Other speakers are Dr Salihu Lukman, the DG Progressive
Governors Forum, and Mr Kola Adesina MD/CEO Sahara Energy Group.
Also,
unlike previous editions, this year will feature young generation of leaders as
interrogators. These young leaders will have the opportunity to contribute to
the conversation as the summit seeks to proffer solutions to socioeconomic
impediment of business and economic growth by asking why and what from the
younger generation’s perspectives.
