MTN’s Georgina Asare Fiagbenu Hosts Time Keeping Dialogue Series 018 on Leadership, Time and Discipline
MTN Ghana’s Senior Manager for Corporate Communications, Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, in collaboration with Significant International Training Systems (SITS), has successfully hosted the Time Keeping Dialogue Series 018, a high-impact virtual leadership engagement held via Zoom on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
The session, which was streamed live to a broad and diverse online audience, marked a powerful and purposeful opening to leadership conversations for the year, focusing on the critical role of time management and discipline in personal, professional, and national development.
Hosted by Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, the dialogue brought together a distinguished panel of speakers, including Ibrahim K. Asante, Founder of Significant International Training Systems; Odelia Ntiamoah, a Media Strategist; and Naval Captain Kwame Yirenkyi, whose collective insights enriched the discussion with practical experience and strategic leadership perspectives.
Themed “Raising the Bar in 2026: Leadership Lessons on Time and Discipline,” the session examined how leaders’ attitudes towards time directly influence productivity, performance, and measurable outcomes in organisations and society at large.
Participants engaged in an open, candid, and thought-provoking conversation centered on discipline, focus, accountability, and the everyday habits that shape successful leadership in business, governance, and personal life.
In his presentation, Ibrahim K. Asante identified the growing normalisation of delays as a major challenge undermining effective time utilisation within society. He strongly cautioned against this culture, emphasising the need for discipline, respect for time, and the deliberate practice of starting meetings short, smart, and sharper as a means of improving standards and performance.
He further highlighted the importance of embracing artificial intelligence and digital tools to enhance efficiency, productivity, and smarter use of time in modern leadership environments. According to Mr. Asante, adopting a national discipline approach to time management would significantly boost productivity and positively impact economic and social development.
Drawing from personal experience, he shared a timeless principle taught by his father: “If you are early, you are on time; if you are on time, you are late; if you are late, you are out.” He credited this philosophy as a foundational guide that has shaped his personal discipline and professional success.
Offering a military perspective, Naval Captain Kwame Yirenkyi spoke on the rigorous time discipline ingrained during his early training at the military academy. He explained that time is treated as a critical and non-negotiable resource in military operations, where precision and punctuality are essential to success.
He noted that this discipline transformed him into a highly effective manager of time and urged participants to first place value on time as a prerequisite for raising personal and professional standards. He stressed that time waits for no one and, once lost, can never be recovered.
Participants widely described the dialogue as life-changing, praising it for delivering real-life lessons, authentic experiences, and practical insights with immediate impact.
The successful hosting of the session reaffirmed Georgina Asare Fiagbenu’s strong commitment to thought leadership, capacity building, and purposeful conversations that inspire individuals and organisations to strive for excellence and higher standards in 2026 and beyond.
