Transreladership (TRL)
Transreladership is a course that was created by Emmanuel Kwesi Acquah, a Minister of the Church of Pentecost. He defined Transreladership as ‘the ability to produce remarkable, tangible and lasting changes, through intentional connectivity and creating followers who are willing and capable of achieving a goal’.[18]
Summary
TRL seeks to suggest possible ways of developing the ability of leaders and followers to make changes that are remarkable. That is, changes that are ground-breaking and breath-taking, with a lasting impact that can withstand the challenges of different generations. These are changes that can make people look into the future and hold their shoulders high with confidence that they can face tomorrow even with greater relevance. It gives great insight into current issues and an understanding of future trends. Accordingly, they become well positioned to be a brand that people would love to come into contact with and gladly associate with. It is a dream that never dies.
The Challenge
This kind of transformation cannot be achieved on a silver platter. It should be a transformation that is born out of working in the heart of people to cause them to will and to take action towards the fulfilment of set goals. Again, TRL seeks to provide the skill to be able to create the required following by putting in place interventions that would sharpen the skills of leadership and followers alike. So, with skilful hands and a great touch of excellence, the goals of transreladership would be achieved. Furthermore, it seeks to produce tangible and lasting TRANSFORMATION in any sphere of life through the effective combination of solid RELATIONSHIP and LEADERSHIP.
