ILPD holds Graduation for Family Bank Managers

The first cohort comprising of 25 Family Bank branch managers were presented with certificates during a graduation ceremony held on 6th March 2015.  This was after completion of a six months training on “Transformative Leadership for Growth,” by Institute of Leadership and Professional Development (ILPD). 

Speaking during the graduation ceremony, Family Bank CEO Mr. Peter Munyiri said "If leaders were born, the world would not have any. At Family bank we recognize that leaders are made and that’s why we have undertaken to train our managers. To be an executive takes time but you have to practice the skills until they become part of you.” he said. 

Speaking at the same ceremony Daystar University Vice-chancellor, Dr. Timothy Wachira said we are in a country with leadership deficiency.  He thus encouraged the managers not to fall into the trap that kills other leaders; that of selfishness, wanting to know what’s in it for them. Instead he told them to apply the knowledge in order to make a difference in the world, and consequently they will be the ones to decide where they want to lead.
