Mr. Adadevoh said the modern world was changing fast therefore graduates need to stay open-minded and ready to use technology to stay competitive.
“As a young graduate, adaptability is key. Use technology to work smarter and stay ahead in your field,” he advised.
Mr. Adadevoh was speaking as the guest for Academic City University’s Paths of Purpose leadership series on the topic “Journey to the Boardroom: Strategic Leadership and Legacy.”
He explained that leadership was not just about big titles but an opportunity to motivate team members to do their best and tackle challenges with a clear plan.
“As a leader, you must inspire your people to go the extra mile and give their best. Always think and act strategically and do not expose your weak spots easily,” he said.
Debunking the idea that one needs foreign experience to succeed, he said with the right mindset and hard work, the Ghanaian can build strong careers right here in Ghana.
“You can become whatever you want to be in Ghana. The idea that foreign experience is better is only a perception. Many Ghanaians are doing great work here and across Africa without ever working abroad,” he added.
He urged the students to think about the kind of legacy they wished to leave behind, noting that true leadership was measured not by self-praise but by the positive impact on people and institutions.
Dr. Sena Agbodjah, Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Academic City, thanked Mr. Adadevoh for making time to share his experiences and ideas with the students.
She explained that the Paths of Purpose series was one of the University’s main ways of connecting what students learn in the classroom to the real world of work and leadership.
“At Academic City, we make it a point to prepare our students to become leaders who can help transform Africa. Hearing directly from people like Selorm Adadevoh brings these lessons to life in ways that textbooks alone cannot,” she said.
