About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Lead and Serve was created for young people to learn the practice of true leadership which is necessary to cultivate the value of effective leadership development for society development. It enables learners to acculturate the right and acceptable values capable of boosting their confidence as well as improving their communication skills in this changing world.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

The importance of the right leaders in society cannot be overemphasized. There are factors to be considered as the negative values consistently militate against the right attitude. Presently, there are four viable positions which include: President, Vice President, General secretary doubled as Treasurer and A member who has to put in check the activities of others in the post. They are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring there are improvements in learning and project management. This has enabled them to foster teamwork and collaboration among the leaders. They keep an account and provide some materials for themselves to ensure learning becomes easier for other learners. Their leadership skills have also been improved in their ability to solve challenges related to the learners. It has appealed to their socio-emotional learning as it helps their human relation.
