GHANA To The Global  Dr. Emmanuel Osei Akyeampong a lecturer at African University College of Communications is yet to make history with his book LEADERSHIP INFLUENCE. I quote, from the author "Leadership is a product of several factors, the most significant of which is influence. But the question is how can leaders identity the proper way to direct others? How can they be sure that they are operating along the right path?" His book will provide answers to the above questions by highlighting key topics.

The event will take place at the Hospitality Center, Tema Community 4 near basket ball court on 21th September 2018 @ 12 noon. Story by Ebenezer Junior
