Dr Chisom Ezeocha takes us through an amazing journey of building teams. Yet, I do not know if earning a doctoral degree and working in the oil industry made him a better team member; he has always been a great team person. As my undergraduate classmate in FUTO (and room mate at a time), he gave me a nickname “Brethren”. That Brethren was a demonstration of working and learning together as classmates. The other is now a General Manager (Network Operations) in MTN; Uche Osuji extends it with “Brethrennn” with an extended “n”. Then “Oshigida’, “Babaatu”, some mean really nothing but admiration for finding solutions to hard academic challenges.
Chisom has managed global technical teams in Africa and around the world. He served as the Head of Offshore Field Engineering for 6 years in Brunei Shell Petroleum. That is the zenith of leading teams where any dislocation on missions would cost your employer billions of dollars.
Dr. Ezeocha developed a novel team management methodology which he refined during his doctoral program. We are truly honoured that he shared the constructs of his model in his lecture.
