Newly Appointed Leaders at CBC Health Services Central Administration receive Orientation to serve as Better Stewards
The Executive President (EP) of the CBC, Rev. Dr. Nditemeh Charlemagne has charged newly appointed leaders of the CBC Health Services to excel in their roles and contribute to strong institutional growth.
The charge came during an orientation meeting for the leaders on August 22, 2024 at the Baptist Center in Nkwen Bamenda where he urged them to adhere to the rules and regulations
Rev. Dr. Nditemeh Charlemagne emphasized that character and leadership are inseparable, “Holistic character is key to being a good leader,” he said. Holistic character is how well you treat subordinates, the patients that come to the various services, and also how you respond to those in authority. The Executive President presented leadership as a gift from God whereby God alone is the one who appoints and one cannot be a leader if God has not appointed them. Most importantly, he cautioned the leaders to be accountable and submissive to their superiors and especially God almighty who appointed them in the first place. “While leading, you should also be prepared to leave,” he said while encouraging them to build a positive legacy for when they leave.
Led by the Director of Health Services, Mr. Ngum Samuel, the leaders received orientation on the policies, core values, goals, leadership framework, financial management as well as personnel management to help in monitoring the growth of their institutions. The leaders were encouraged to apply their academic knowledge to their new responsibilities to achieve the vision of quality health care for all. He equally emphasized respect for the rules and regulations which have been put in place to ensure smooth functioning.
The Deputy Director for Administration and Finance, Mr. Warri Denis and the Personnel Manager, Mr. Ndosak George cautioned the new leaders on how to properly manage finances and handle personnel respectively as a means to succeed in their new post of responsibilities. It was a learning experience for many as some of the leaders testified that it felt like they were in a classroom setting for serious lectures.
