The First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari has argued that transformational leaders are in critical need in a post Covid-19 era to enable organisations thrive.
According to him, in spite of the adverse socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to appreciate and take full advantage of some of the new ideas that have emerged as part of the new normal post-COVID.
This he believes takes transformational leaders to identify and pursue.
