NewsGhana, Latest Updates and Breaking News of Ghana, Roger A. Agana, https://www.newsghana.com.gh/fidelity-bank-urges-boards-to-own-leadership-development/Kwabena Boateng of Fidelity Bank Ghana called on financial institutions to treat leadership development as a boardroom priority at the ACI Financial Markets Association (ACI FMA) World Congress in Accra on May 21.
Boateng, who serves as Deputy Managing Director for Wholesale Banking, made the remarks during the Leadership Dialogue: Nurturing the Future of Capital Markets panel at the 64th edition of the congress, which Ghana hosted on May 21 and 22 under the theme “Elevating Markets, Empowering People.”
Speaking from Fidelity Bank’s own experience, he argued that identifying future leaders requires structure and must begin early. The process, he said, cannot sit with middle management. It must carry visible commitment from the top.
Fidelity Bank runs two distinct programmes to build that pipeline. The Orange Talent Programme targets high-potential employees already inside the bank, putting them through rigorous selection and cross-functional training across business units. The Graduate Training Programme brings in fresh university graduates and builds their capabilities from entry level. Both programmes use a structured mentorship model with one deliberate feature: a mentee’s direct line manager is not assigned as their mentor, separating the developmental relationship from the hierarchical one.
“The wisdom or knowledge does not rest in one vessel,” Boateng said, cautioning institutions against building leadership pipelines that replicate existing thinking. He argued that different perspectives converging within an organisation produce better outcomes than uniformity at the top.
He also pressed institutions on the question of financial commitment, drawing a direct parallel between capital deployed into operations and investment in people. Institutions that hold back on the latter, he warned, leave a compounding gap across generations.
The 64th ACI FMA World Congress marked the first time in nearly two decades that Sub-Saharan Africa hosted the gathering. Co-hosted by the Bank of Ghana (BoG), the two-day event brought together treasury professionals, regulators, central bankers and market participants from more than 60 countries, making Accra the temporary centre of the global financial markets industry.
