Leadership is a global topic in which many invest millions to learn to be better and exemplary leaders. Many need to know that the traditional functioning of leadership cannot be effective in the 21st Century times due to a significant gap in the tides of time.
To be a leader in a global, fast-pacing, digitally enabled Century with a high speed of information transitioning and innovations, you either upgrade yourself or get stuck in the traditional pedagogies.
Leadership in the 21st Century is defined by how you learn, what you learn, and who you learn from. This is why YTOP Global has carefully curated a leadership training initiative to equip upcoming potential leaders with the skills they need to be exemplary leaders in the 21st Century.
The Rise of YTOPs is a leadership training specifically for 100 selected potential leaders at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. This is an exclusive event designed to train top-notch individuals across the 13 faculties of the University.
PROJECT 100 is an intensive 15-week program focused on nurturing, breeding, training, raising, and empowering youth with advanced knowledge and skills, efficient and effective capacity every young leader should have to function effectively as the “LEADERS OF TOMORROW” by being ‘LEADERS TODAY”.
These leaders are given the title MENTOR-LEADER such that they are trained, and coached by top leaders in the leading industry firms and mentored intensively during this period and engaged in community development projects. They are projected as leaders who will raise and mentor other leaders in the present and coming generation
This will be a platform to explore new ideas through action research and project work, share best practices, and network with other great leaders. We believe that this gathering of leaders will be invaluable in helping us shape the future of society as they will be fit enough to be leaders and representatives of the country and themselves locally, globally, and internationally.
The programme would cover a variety of topics, including leadership challenges and weaknesses, personal development approaches and methods, career development and advancement, the value of having an effective mentor, networking strategies, and much more. Leaders would be taught what leadership entails, how to form a workable and productive team, and how to take charge as change-makers, using their voice, skills, and innovation to project positive change for the betterment of society, with the help of a strategic coaching method from the top players of leading industries in Nigeria.
Participants in the programme receive group coaching, and also complete community projects and activities to put what they have learned into practise. After the program, each participant is connected to a top player in their field of interest.
