LASG TRAINS WORKFORCE ON EFFECTIVE SUCCESSION PLAN
The Lagos State Government, through the Office of the Auditor-General for Local Governments, has held a three-day training programme for its Audit Team Leaders and Heads of Departments. The theme of the event was “Teamwork and Effective Succession Plan as Drivers for Productivity in The Workplace”.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the event held at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Nurudeen Olowopopo Way, CBD Alausa, Ikeja, the Permanent Secretary/Auditor-General for Local Governments, Mr. Obafemi Ogunlana, said the objective of the workshop was to introduce participants to the concept of teamwork and succession planning.
Noting that leading a team goes beyond giving directives, Ogunlana said leaders should equip subordinates with capabilities to make them transit from mentees to mentors.
The Auditor-General also averred that the training became expedient because of the need to further provide the participants with insight on improved communication and interpersonal relationship in building a highly motivated and performance-driven team.
While maintaining that the workshop was designed to expose participants to knowledge about succession planning as well as vital skill and abilities, Ogunlana envisaged that the exercise would aid the improvement of participants in discharging assigned responsibilities.
He, therefore, urged the participants to make the best use of all they have learnt from the training programme.
The training programme, facilitated by Bold Perception Integrated Ltd, a Human Resource Consultant vast in multi-discipline and human resource matters, focused on generic and professional topics relevant to the responsibilities of participants.
