Leadership Development

The CBL Leadership
Development Program spans the portfolio of certificate, advance certificate,
diplomas and professional certification programmes. It is intensive, lasting
throughout students' time at the centre and their respective organization, and designed
to integrate with their overall course of study.

Our Leadership Thinking and Practice

Through coursework,
hands-on experience, and practice giving and receiving feedback, the LDP
develops skills on four levels:

1. Individual
   Level
   
   Examples: Values and leadership commitments, knowledge of personal
   strengths and weaknesses


2. Interpersonal/Team
   Level
   
   Examples: Giving/receiving feedback, emotional intelligence,
   communication, diversity


3. Organizational
   Level
   
   Examples: Developing and implementing vision and strategy, organizational
   design and organizational culture


4. Global
   Level
   
   Examples: Building and sustaining community, ethics, social responsibility
   and accountability, cultural awareness

The program is designed
to be:

Personalized. The LDP helps you
advance your leadership goals. You build up your own leadership plan, which
could include a leadership role at the school, starting your own venture, or
working with a community organization, and then act on it. You make use of a
unique assessment tool that is designed just for you to measure your progress.

Highly global. Leadership demands
and practices vary across cultures. A formulaic approach to leadership will
fail those interested in working in varied regions or in highly global
organizations. The highly customized nature of LDP enables you to prepare to
lead across boundaries.

Engaged with CBL. Through the LDP, many students
extend their engagement with Yale University, working with undergraduate clubs
or Yale affiliation and outreach groups, for example.

Integrated with your studies. The LDP advances in step with the academic curriculum,
providing you with opportunities to reflect on the leadership questions and
lessons encountered in the classroom. 

Personal/Human Capital
Development

Human
Capital is asserted to be the most important element of success in business
today. Developing human capital requires creating and cultivating environments
in which human beings can rapidly learn and apply new ideas, competencies,
skills, behaviours and attitudes. At CBL,
the Human Capital Development group assists companies not only in Ghana but
across Africa to create opportunities for people to create shared
understanding, explore new ideas and apply them. The tools for creating these
opportunities include training, facilitation, coaching and consulting. The
focus is on meeting the needs of learner and organization alike.

Learning
is a wonderful paradox of reflection and social agreement. CBL’s cultural sensitivity and vast
range of learning methodologies allow
us to craft spaces for people to learn from each other, agree on shared
understanding and boundaries, engage in thoughtful reflection and feel free to
experiment with new behaviours and approaches. The paradox of learning also
requires that learning spaces be both profound and fun.  

Human
Capital Development offers learning and coaching solutions
that are tailored for specific organizations and a suite of approaches that
have been proven effective across the globe. We partner with thought leaders
around the world and adapt powerful methodologies to local cultures. Human
Capital Development models diversity. Our facilitators and coaches come from
both African, Western and Asian cultures; some are grey-haired, others imbued
with youthful energy. Our learning methodologies are evolving and flexible.
Learners are engaged by CBL
facilitators’ commitment to contribution, by their years of industrial
experience, by their senses of humour and compassion, by their dedication to
excellence. In
keeping Clients’ Company on their journeys of change and transformation, CBL consultants help organizations to develop the capacity for
independent learning and reflection. The ultimate aim is to enable people and
organizations to learn continuously and be self-sustaining.

Enterprise Development Services (EDS):

CBL was inspired by her partners’ concern over the years
about stunted SME growth and about marginal contributions the SME sector
appeared to make to the Ghanaian economy, in spite of its widely acknowledged
potential to drive private sector growth. The intention in setting up EDS
therefore was for CBL to play a galvanizing role in transforming Ghana’s
largely informal Small and Medium Enterprises into a sector of well-structured,
profitable businesses through SME policy research, entrepreneurial training and
Business Development Services.

With the birthing of The Enterprise Development Services, a
dynamic, mutually- reinforcing relationship between academia, policy makers and
industry, all acting in concert to provide realistic SME solutions, has begun.
The larger gain anticipated is a robust, wealth-generating private
sector. The Enterprise Development Services, EDS will augment current
ongoing efforts at SME development through a three - prong approach:

1.      Conducting policy research and leading new thinking in SME
policy development

2.      Offering entrepreneurial training (CEM) designed to give SME
owners and managers a firm grounding in business management fundamentals

3.      Providing a wide array of other business development
services as indicated under the BDS theme above.

Business Values and Principles

Our ambition is for CBL to continue as a strong,
growing and innovative corporate business long into the future and our solid
Business Principles will help us do this.

Our Business Principles apply to all employees,
consultants, facilitators, trainers, contractors and others when representing CBL.
These Principles sets out specific aspirations and commitments that guide our
relations with our customers/clients, employees, shareholders, and partners. 

Corporate Bureau Ltd. will continue to evolve and
adapt to this ever changing world; however, our business practices remain the
same. The way we do business is led by our Business Principles, which reflect
the basic ideas of fairness, honesty, and a general concern for employees and
their continued education.

These Business
Principles are:

1.    We listen. Our
clients’ interests always come first. Experience shows that if we serve our
clients well, our own success will follow.

2.     
Integrity and
honesty are the heart of our business. We expect our people to maintain high
ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for the firm and in
their personal lives.

3.     
We aim to maximize
long-term value to our customers and each other.

4.  We take great pride
in the professional quality of our work. We have an uncompromising
determination to achieve excellence in everything we undertake. Though we may
be involved in a wide variety of activity, we would, if it came to a choice
rather be best than biggest.

5.     
We stress teamwork.
While individuality is always encouraged, we have found that team effort often
produces the best results. We have no room for those who put their personal
interests ahead of the interests of the firm and our clients.

6.     
The dedication of
our people to the firm and the intense effort given to their jobs are greater
than one finds in most other organizations.

7.    We constantly strive
to anticipate the rapidly changing needs of our clients and to develop new
services to meet those needs.

8.     
We regularly receive
confidential information as part of our normal client relationships. To breach
a confidence or to use confidential information improperly or carelessly would
be unthinkable.

9.    Our business is
highly competitive, and we aggressively seek to expand our client
relationships. However, we must always be fair competitors and must never
denigrate other firms.

10.  
Creativity,
innovation and change are hallmark of our business.
