In return, chiefs could demand for corporate social responsibility projects that will elevate the status of their people. When the sources of livelihood of the people are developed, it brings relief to the people, in the area of financial liberation. Our chiefs must encourage companies in their operational areas to invest in social intervention programs. That will help our communities to develop\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Sam-Amoah believes chiefs are important stakeholders to drive development in communities even though they are not as powerful as they used to be.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged all chiefs to emulate the steps taken by Nana Brekrom II, who has <span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #666699;\" href=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/2017\/09\/14\/chief-launches-book-on-traditional-leadership\/\">written a book<\/a><\/strong><\/span> outlining his vision for Assorkorman.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-353534 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Professor-Livingstone-Kobina-Sam-Amoah-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"professor-livingstone-kobina-sam-amoah-2\" width=\"768\" height=\"431\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The book titled: &#8220;Doing our part for the community we aspire\u201d is a 24 page simplified masterpiece which spells out how traditional leaders can rethink and envision their communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a step in the right direction which we will encourage our chiefs to emulate. It helps avoid disjointed courses of development for communities, and also deals with the loss of vision when one leader passes on to eternity.
