TODAY, Secretary to the Cabinet Mr. Patrick KANGWA officiated at the Senior Management Training for new Permanent Secretaries at NIPA main campus, Lusaka.
THE training is aimed at equipping Permanent Secretaries with leadership transformation skills and everything they need to excel.
Below are the highlights:
✅The Secretary to the Cabinet urged Permanent Secretaries to be ethical leaders rooted in constitutional values noting that this will encourage citizens to become partners in national development, rather than sceptics of government promises.
✅Further urged the Permanent Secretaries to be strategic leaders who make decisions today's decisions with tomorrow's outcomes in mind citing their ability to see the connection between economic diversification, climate resilience, digital transformation and youth empowerment.
✅Furthermore, Mr. Kangwa emphasized the need for Permanent Secretaries to be innovative leaders who embrace change noting that no Ministry, Agency, or mission achieves transformational impact in isolation.
✅In this regard, the Permanent Secretaries have been challenged to create synergies, share resources, and coordinate efforts that amplify collective impact.
✅Mr. Kangwa has since urged Permanent Secretaries to leave the programme with enhanced skills, renewed purpose, bolder vision, expanded networks, and deeper commitment to the transformational leadership that Zambia requires and deserves.
