The new spirit of teamwork at FIRS
In the 21st century, rating effective leadership is now based on leaders’ possession of ‘soft skills’. Leadership today is no longer rated by intimidating or swaying charisma like that of Adolf Hitler. Soft skills, according to Joana Marques in ‘Leadership Today’ include purpose, morality, values, vision, authenticity, empathy and emotional intelligence, spirituality, and trust among others.
“This shows teamwork. This is great and commendable”, Mr. Okorie noted before commencing his presentation on effective leadership. Today, there is some level of public confidence with the FIRS unlike what was obtainable in the Service a few years ago. This is because someone who has his agenda clearly defined has taken over the leadership position. Nami took over in the organization fully prepared and had his vision marshalled out at the outset.
It is instructive to note that Nami was inaugurated with a Board. This means that no single person, not even the Executive Chairman, takes certain far-reaching decisions alone. The Board has to sit to take decisions on critical issues like project funding, staff recruitment and promotion. A statement by the FIRS noted: “During the lockdown, on 31 March 2020, the Management of FIRS in a virtual meeting, committed to provide palliatives to support the taxpayers pull-through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic even as the Service struggles to raise revenue for the country”.
The Service also launched a Business Continuity Plan and took measures to ensure the safety and well-being of staff, taxpayers, stakeholders, and visitors.
