TEXEM Organises Hybrid Leadership Programme to Boost Remote Work Productivity in Nigeria

Nigerian leaders and CEOs have been urged to leverage their remote workforce for increased productivity in 2024. Caroline Lucas, Director of Special Projects at TEXEM UK, a British leadership development organization, delivered the call through the organization’s website, www.texem.co.uk.
Lucas announced that TEXEM would host a hybrid programme titled “Effective Leadership in a Distributed World: Pioneering Enduring Legacies” for leaders in Nigeria and the UK. The programme aims to equip organisations for effective remote leadership in the evolving work landscape, focusing on building trust, enhancing productivity, and optimizing leadership communication.
Scheduled from March 25 to March 27, the program is expected to improve organisational resilience, ensuring lasting success and sustainability. The faculty delivering papers during the programme include Prof. Roger Delves, Professor of Practice in Leadership and Associate Dean at Ashridge Executive Education, Hult International Business School; Prof. Paul Griffith, Senior Vice President of Products at Ashridge Executive Education; and Ambassador Charles Crawford, Founding Partner of The Ambassador Partnership LLP.
Lucas emphasised the programme’s unique hybrid option, combining virtual sessions with a three-day UK immersion experience, featuring tourist visits and immersive training. She stated that TEXEM’s methodology, including case studies, aims to enhance participants’ cognitive skills, analytical rigour, and ability to manage ambiguity.
The director highlighted the numerous benefits of the program to stakeholders, including enhanced collaboration, cost savings, increased productivity, global reach, quick response to market changes, job satisfaction, flexible scheduling, creative thinking, innovation, reduced environmental impact, scalability, data-driven decisions, enhanced customer relationships, crisis resilience, brand reputation enhancement, accessibility, and adaptability.
Delegates are expected to develop skills to better understand and manage human resources in a distributed work environment. Past delegates from Nigeria provided positive testimonials, praising the programme’s structure, participatory nature, and relevance to business uncertainty.
“I like the way the programme was structured, more often most programmes would have had the guided tour on the last day, which more often than not does not allow for full participation,” said Shobo Ademoye, Director, LASACO Assurance PLC.
“I’m not surprised because I know the pedigree of TEXEM. The beautiful thing about TEXEM is that they adapt their training courses to take into cognizance the environment in which they operate,” commented Kolade Aiyelabola, Associate Director, Oak Pensions.
“Highly interactive and very practical. High-profile speakers with an excellent pedigree and track record of professional achievements. Provided networking among participants,” added Dayo Babatunde, Senior Partner, Ernst and Young.
