Mr Percy Amoo-Yankey

Welcome to ILF Ghana.

Across more than three decades of working with organisations in Ghana and across Africa, I have seen one lesson repeat itself. Strategies, systems and resources matter, but it is the character and capability of leaders that decide whether institutions succeed.

That is why ILF Ghana exists. Through the ILF 12Cs Transforming Leadership Framework, we help boards, executives, public institutions, educators, faith leaders and young people lead with integrity, competence and purpose.

Our commitment in this new season is clear. We will strengthen our systems, expand our reach across Ghana, deepen our partnerships, and grow our faculty and programmes. Our aim is that ILF Ghana is recognised as a Centre of Excellence for Transforming Leadership.

I invite you to join us. Whether you lead an institution, a team or a community, let us build together the leadership culture Ghana’s future deserves.

Ten flagship solutions. One proprietary framework.

Every engagement begins with a short Leadership Challenge Pulse, so the programme you receive is configured around the problem your institution actually has.

This training is very helpful, and I suggest GES buy into it and make it a national policy to all school heads.

This seminar has been insightful. I’m inspired by the fact that I need not be in a leadership position before my leadership can be felt.
Participant, Wesley Girls’ High School
