Dr. Yetunde Folami Advocates for Value-Driven Leadership

Dr. Yetunde Folami, a leadership coach and convenor of the Voic Africa Leadership Summit (VOAL), articulated that true leadership is defined by responsibility rather than titles. She shared her vision for raising value-driven African women leaders who can influence and collaborate to transform leadership.

Folami highlighted the importance of leadership values such as integrity, humility, courage, and stewardship. She noted that leadership should not solely depend on technical expertise but also on the ability to build community culture and sustain systems.

The summit aims to create a platform for leaders to exchange wisdom and perspectives, fostering mentorship and collaboration across Africa. Folami emphasized that success in leadership is not measured by attendance numbers but by the formation of mentorship relationships and the implementation of impactful ideas.

The summit will also honor women whose achievements set them apart, showcasing the potential of women leaders across various sectors in Africa.
