OUR CREDO
The Institute of Attitudinal Change Managers formally commenced full-scale, operational activities on 15th May, 2014 with its headquarters in Benin City, Edo State. The Institute is a professional body established in 2014 under CAM ACT LFN 2004 with the approval of the Federal Ministries of Education and Justice. Its main mandate is to produce a generation of Managers, duly equipped to change negative attitudes of people and re-orientate them towards productive ventures and good behaviour in organizations, the society and our nation.
Our cardinal objectives as a professional and examining body may be summarized as follows:
i. To institutionalize positive attitudes in all aspects of our society through seminars, workshops and conferences.
ii. To train people on positive behavioural attitudes.
iii. To certify the beneficiaries of our programmes through the issuance of certificates as “Attitudinal Change Managers.”
iv. To inculcate high moral values, ethical standards and positive attitudes in people through public awareness campaigns.
v. To serve as a Research Institute for the development of positive behavioural patterns in the work place and the society and publish the outcome for the benefit of the society.
THE INSTITUTE’S MOTTO
Our highly respected Ladies and Gentlemen, I consider it expedient to adduce your minds to the motto of our Institute which is: “Attitude Changes Everything.” The two critical terms worthy of note here are “attitude” and “change”. I crave your indulgence to permit me to make a passing reference to them because of their relevance to our core mandate.
I am particularly happy that we are beginning to realise and appreciate the fact that attitudes play a vital role in affecting our behaviour. They influence the way we feel and behave towards others in our environment. It is a well known fact that people tend to act favourably towards things they like and unfavourably towards things they dislike ceteris paribus. At one point or the other, we try to influence someone’s attitudes or we are influenced by the attempt of someone else to change our attitudes.
THE INSTITUTE’S MOTTO

Maxwell (1993), a highly respected scholar once asserted that an attitude is an inward feeling expressed by behaviour. He observed that a hardened attitude is a dreaded disease. It causes a closed mind and a dark future. But, when an attitude is positive and conducive to growth, the mind expands and progress begins. Herein lies the crux of the matter. It is from this perspective that I enjoin you to appreciate the beauty of our social crusade. Our goal is to get rid of bad attitudes and make individuals to learn good ones. Our mission is to create a better understanding of attitudes and how they change.
I am sure that everyone present in this gathering today is aware that change is natural to existence and common to all creations. It is a principle of creation and indeed, one of the most important factors in life. Yet, most people do not manage change effectively and positively. Many of us neglect to initiate positive changes that would make significant difference in their lives and the lives of others. The Institute has evolved far-reaching measures to assist individuals to manage changes in a desirable way, change their negative perceptions and adopt the right attitude to life.
