Injaz(Arabic for achievement) is patterned after a US-based youth organization, Junior Achievement, which operates in many African countries, including Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, as well as in other regions of the world.

If there is one skill that is mostly revered across all organizations and institutions, it is leadership. Being the boss or in a position of power is not enough to make you a good leader. Effective leadership comes from the impact you have on people, the respect you garner and how you manage to walk the talk. “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” says John Quincy Adams, the 6th president of US. The measure of a great leader has much less to do with how you define their role and more about their actual impact on others. Great leaders don’t reach the height of success without facing their share of minor challenges and major crises.
