Study objective for Fulbright - Master's in Organizational Leadership

effective leadership matters

I have always believed that effective leadership is the only tool and solution which can trigger development and progressive change of an individual group, an organization or a country, ranging from the public domain to the private sectors. I have watched organizations, executive teams and individuals suffer from leadership crises, from personal behaviors, to issue such relating to accountability, integrity, management, capacity building, and lack of vision and plan. Many institution and personalities have crumbled due to lack of visionary leadership, due to lack of ethical leadership and the worst part of this phenomenon, is that half of the Togolese youths lack professional skills, leadership qualities and talents that can renovate them and make them efficient and competent for the current job market and face global leadership challenges. For such reasons, and regarding to my impulse for inspiring others to do more, driving results while engaging others, boosting capacity and talent at the grassroot level and in organizations, I want to study a master program in organizational Leadership, with a concentration in training and development, where I will develop and learn leadership theories development strategies and learn how to implement changes in order to guide successful organizations and individuals. I wish to study course programs like: organization productivity, change leadership, psychology of motivation, talent development, managerial effectiveness, innovation and strategy, cultural competence and leadership, cooperate training and ethical leadership. which will not only pave way to my long yarning career goal, which is to enhance people's capacity, transforming people to achieve more resourceful result in all sphere of life and preparing the next generation of leaders in Togo and in a global competitive world of excellence, but will also help my country in solving most leadership problems that have been hindering development in the public domain, institutions and among ordinary citizens . Starting from my high school days till university, I have deemed it necessary, to inspire, maximize personal performance in different areas and instill a sense of responsibility in people, I have been able to work with a wide range of students and have organized countless seminars and mentoring sections which have increased capacity and have gained lasting results. I also think, being in the field of humanity and having studied literature, have made me understand the importance of developing the human resources and capital and helping people to lead and make decision for themselves and for others with a specific vision of attaining targeted goals for the benefit of all. Working at different position as a leader and teacher, have given me more on what boosting performance, working with a huge number of teams and knowing their needs, has also made me understand the difficulties in leading people and how to find solutions to it. As stated, studying a master's program in organizational Leadership with a focus in training and development, fits in with my future objectives which is not only to occupy leadership position in the public domain and enhance performance but also to boost capacity of thousands of the Togolese through intensive training, through seminars, through skills acquisition, talent development, work with many government officials and business personnel, civil servants, school administrations to create a performative and innovative working environment which will bring about development in my country Togo and solve leadership and managerial problems.
