Dr. Gilbert A. Ang’ana
CEO of Accent Leadership Group & Founder of Accent Global Initiative (AGI)
I am a Social Scientist at the core focused on Leadership and Governance. I help leaders energize their organizations with bold strategies that unlock their teams’ potential.
My goal is to promote responsible leadership and governance in Africa and beyond through coaching, teaching, and consulting. I want to create a group of leaders whose influence is greater than their official roles.
I am the author of various books, including Engaged & Productive, which equips leaders with five Mindshifts for Building Highly Engaged and Productive Teams.
