Former NEIP CEO Kofi Ofosu Nkansah has expressed his apprehensions about accepting future positions involving opportunity distribution, according to GhPage. As he reflected on his time there, Nkansah said that he was reluctant to take on such tasks in the future because they frequently came with high standards and close scrutiny.



Nkansah described in an interview the difficulties he encountered in juggling few possibilities with a huge demand, saying that the pressure to please everyone became too much to handle. He said, "My previous role will probably be the last I will accept to serve in a position that involves giving opportunities to people," emphasizing his unwillingness to be given such responsibilities once more.

Nkansah went on to discuss the challenges he faced, particularly the fine line between fitting in and exceeding expectations. He revealed that while individuals who were given opportunities would frequently ask for more, those who were not would doubt the process's impartiality. Issues arise if you are unable to provide them with more. He described the strain from conflicting demands, saying, "Those who weren't given the chance will come after you because they don't understand why others got and they didn't."



Along with these work-related difficulties, Nkansah discussed the interpersonal dynamics that made his job more difficult, pointing out that selfishness and greed are typical characteristics in these kinds of settings. He made the statement, "No matter what you give them, they will not appreciate," highlighting the psychological cost of dealing with these demands.


Despite his efforts to foster innovation and entrepreneurship while he was employed at NEIP, Nkansah's thoughts indicate that he has been disillusioned with comparable leadership positions due to the difficulties of balancing conflicting interests and allocating resources. The difficulties leaders have on a personal and professional level when allocating opportunities is a primary duty are clarified by his remarks.
