CIPM charge members on multidimensional leadership for relevance 

The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), has charged newly-inducted members on multidimensional leadership for better strategic decisions and to remain relevant.
 
President and Chairman of Governing Council, CIPM, Wale Adediran, at the 39th induction ceremony held virtually, said multidimensional leaders stayed objectively alert to make strategic decisions for organisational growth.
 
He said for one to be an effective Human Resource (HR) leader in today’s world of work, one needs to have strong business acumen, a head for numbers, passion for people, agility, resilience and an enterprise mindset. 

“You must see yourselves as leaders of self, leaders of others and leaders of the business, and start to chart a new course for yourselves aligned with all these HR truths I have mentioned. Disruption is the name of the game; we all should be used to that by now. We must always be prepared for the next wave of change, and the next. This is the new normal. This is today’s world of work. This is life!” Adediran said.
 
Chief HR Officer, MTN Nigeria Communications Plc, Esther Akinnukawe, who spoke on, “The New Normal: A Case for Multidimensional Leadership,” listed ways HR professionals can be effective leaders in their organisations and operate in sync with the new normal.
 
Meanwhile, 163 were inducted through the HR practitioners’ route, while about 509 were inducted through the professional examinations route.
