Gold Fields Ghana and the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) have launched a joint leadership programme aimed at improving leadership and management skills in the country’s mining sector.
The programme, which is a one-year leadership development programme modelled on core values of safety, responsibility, honesty, respect, innovation and delivery, is to equip participants with the strategic tools and skills to lead transformational change and progress at Gold Fields Ghana.
The programme further seeks to promote the Gold Fields strategic objective of promoting a local content drive aimed at increasing the number of local professionals in the senior management of the company.
Mr. Peter Turner, the Executive Vice-President for West Africa and the Managing Director of Gold Fields Ghana Limited said: “Our industry is constantly adapting to change. “We will require innovative leaders who will drive the industry forward in Ghana. A key tenet of this will be to have a strong capable human resource.
“In realising our vision of being a leader in sustainable gold mining, our most important asset is our people who will form the cornerstone of a sustainable business for the future.
“I believe that this leadership programme that Gold Fields and GIMPA have launched, will give our managers, the requisite skills and exposure to become future leaders of our business.”
Professor Franklyn Manu, Dean of the GIMPA Business School, welcomed the collaboration with Gold Fields as strategic and timely.
“Since leadership development is a core objective in the Gold Fields strategy, GIMPA’s comprehensive programme has been designed to prepare the participants to become future leaders of Gold Folds Ghana,” Prof. Manu remarked.
