The Office of the Solicitor General has conducted leadership and management training for its senior officials, aimed at strengthening efficiency, accountability, and professionalism within the institution.
The training took place in Dodoma over the weekend, providing leaders with an opportunity to reflect on their daily performance, acquire new skills, and improve institutional management.
The program covered key areas of leadership, including supervision and delegation of responsibilities, time management, protocol, ethics, and professional conduct.
Participants also engaged in self-assessment to identify areas for improvement in service delivery and operational efficiency.
Opening the training, the Solicitor General, Dr. Ally Possi, reminded management team members that leaders are the public face of their institutions and the Government as a whole.
He emphasized that every leader—whether Head of Department or Head of Unit carries the institution’s and Government’s image, both at work and in the wider community.
“Every leader must understand the responsibility that comes with their position. We should foster workplaces where people feel respected and motivated, reflect on our performance regularly, and follow laws, regulations, and leadership ethics. Innovation, accountability, and proper monitoring of tasks are essential for achieving positive results,” said Solicitor General Possi.
The Deputy Solicitor General, Alice Mtulo, noted that the training was crucial in providing time for leaders to assess their performance.
She expressed confidence that it would enhance management skills, decision-making, delegation, and time management within the Office.
On leadership and delegation, the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute of Leadership, Kadari Singo, commended the Office of the Solicitor General for prioritizing leadership development.
He encouraged leaders to mentor and build their assistants’ capabilities to ensure continuity and effective institutional systems.
Additionally, a session on protocol and professional etiquette was facilitated by a lecturer from the Diplomatic Training Centre, Godwin Gonde Amani.
The session addressed personal appearance, dress code, communication, behavior, respect for authority, and proper interaction within government institutions.
“Protocol is critical in leadership and government institutions. It affects communication, presentation, and interactions, shaping institutional reputation and public confidence,” Mr. Amani explained.
The Office of the Solicitor General continues to conduct annual leadership training and internal performance review meetings, reinforcing professionalism, good governance, and effective institutional operations.
