Leadership Conference: Day 2

Sunday's session started bright and early with Ken Ofori-Atta leading a morning devotion. He looked at the stories of David and Jesus, and linked them up to the qualities and attributes an effective leader should have. In short, these were having integrity, being solution orientated, being able to set a clear vision, being service orientated and holding people accountable. He also talked a little about issues of finance in the Bible; of tithing and of being responsible with money.

After Ken was done, each group had a little time to put their final thoughts together for their presentations on the problem solving activity. After the presentations, we played the Opposites Game; a simple game where left is right and forwards is backwards (congratulations to Sally for being the last one standing!).

Lunch was then served, after which we attempted to watch The Pursuit of Happyness. I must apologize for the technical issues we had at this point. We watched half of Law Abiding Citizen instead, but at a point it became clear that many people were tired, so we went out to play blindfolded football (a team building exercise) instead.

Albert Ocran rounded up the day and the conference with his talk on what it was all about: Leadership. His talk centred on the 7 Keys to Excellence and was based on the story of David (specifically, 1 Samuel 16:17 & 18). I talk more about his presentation in this post.
