Lead City Varsity Hosts Conference on Leadership, Personality Development

Dr. Ayobami Owolabi, President of the Institute of Personality Development & Customer Relationship Management (IPDCRM), has announced the 2024 Corporate Charisma Conference and Awards, set to take place at Lead City University, Ibadan.

Themed “Investment in Leadership Education and Personality Development: A Valuable Asset, Timely Rescue Anchor, in a Depressed Economy,” the conference will bring together some of Nigeria’s and the world’s leading voices in leadership, innovation, and policy to address economic challenges through strategic development.

Inspiring Leadership for Economic Resurgence

As Nigeria faces the ongoing complexities of a depressed economy, the 2024 Corporate Charisma Conference will serve as a transformative event. It will convene policymakers, corporate executives, innovators, and thought leaders to explore the powerful role of leadership education and personality development in driving economic recovery.

The programme includes keynote speakers, prominent presenters, and thought-provoking discussions, all aimed at using human capital to foster productivity, sustainable growth, and innovation.

Corporate Charisma Awards: Honouring Organizational Excellence

A key highlight of the conference will be the Corporate Charisma Awards (CCA), designed to celebrate organisations that excel in sustainable development. Recognising businesses with a strategic vision for customer loyalty, innovation, and growth, IPDCRM’s awards programme evaluates nominees through its Organisational Performance Profile (OPP) and Grand Analytics Method (GAM), a rigorous data-driven model.

These awards aim to establish a prestigious “C500” list, a “Fortune 500” of Nigeria, celebrating organisations that inspire national pride, community recognition, and economic impact. Among this year’s honorees are The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and Bellagio Airlines, recognised for their people-centered and impactful business models.

Induction Ceremony for New Members

The 2024 conference will also feature an induction ceremony for new IPDCRM members, each of whom has demonstrated excellence in personality development, customer relationship management, and leadership education. This cohort will join a growing network of professionals dedicated to fostering economic resilience and promoting growth through transformative leadership.

Collaborations, Networking, and Youth Empowerment

Beyond its awards and induction, the event will serve as a hub for strategic collaborations across industries, reinforcing the value of leadership education in economic resilience. A focus on youth empowerment will take center stage, with panel discussions dedicated to equipping the next generation with the leadership skills essential for navigating today’s economic challenges. The conference aims to emphasise the long-term return on investment in leadership education—not only for individuals but for corporate entities and national growth.

Exhibition of Leadership Innovation

An exhibition at the event will showcase the latest in leadership training and personality development tools, offering participants insight into innovative strategies for strengthening both individual and organisational resilience in the face of economic uncertainty.

A Call to Action for Economic Recovery

The 2024 Corporate Charisma Conference serves as a call to action, urging leaders across sectors to recognise leadership education and personality development as vital assets for economic revitalization. Dr. Ayobami Owolabi emphasises that IPDCRM is committed to fostering a new generation of visionary leaders equipped to drive Nigeria forward.
