Training on Leadership and Branding for Young Leaders



22 October, 2014.


 On 22th August, 2015, Pamoja Youth Initiative has organized Young Leaders training on Leadership and Branding, the training was a part of Pamoja Youth Initiative’s monthly programme on Civic Leadership.
The training enabled the participants to engage with valuable resource persons and discuss diverse issues related to leadership, its challenges as well as the need of developing New Leadership Profiles for the Young Peoples who want to develop their career on Political, Business as well as Civic Leadership.



The first two sessions of the training were dedicated to a thorough review of the leadership concept among Youth, and it started with a debate of whether great leaders are born or made. The discussion was very interesting and challenging one since all participants have been able to share their views on the concept of leadership. As a matter of the current situations of many Young Peoples to engage in Political Leadership and expose their leadership potentials within their parties, the discussion concentrated on the current crisis in leadership. Since it is seemed that many Young People who dedicated themselves to represent their parties for nomination of local Councilors as well as Members of the House of Representatives; many of these youth who are capable were not nominated by their parties. 




The third session of the training pointed out the questions pertaining to the need of developing New Leadership Profiles in respect to their Institutions they represents. In this session Young leaders were introduced and oriented on the new concepts of shaping leadership, goals, missions and branding as tools for escalating themselves into leadership positions within their Institutions so that to keep them on the tract. To wind up the session, participants were taken through the use of Social Media as a tool for lobbying and advocating as well as exposing their leadership potentials through networking. All in all the training was very inventive in terms of participation where by all participants were able to interact with each other.

  1. When it has to do with leadership, the capacity to judge situations and people with fairness is important as it shows them how you value them. Leadership can be taught in a leadership training program, with the aid of team activities which may be fun and enjoyable. Leadership and management are normally viewed as the identical thing, which really isn’t.

  2. Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company. Too many talk about a company’s leadership referring to the senior most executives in the organization.
