Voter’s profile

CEO OF THE YEAR It is about the exclusive “X Factor” in leadership It can certainly be valuable to have the help of strategy officers or

teams on refining and implementing a strategy, but the strategy itself needs to be conceived and owned by the CEO (or equivalent for a division). Otherwise, a strategy often becomes a diffuse product of group thinking and compromises among multiple stakeholders in the organization. Here this time we are recognizing individuals who have provided ideas, strategies and tactics for top executive leaders seeking to build more effective organizations.

A significant body of management research has demonstrated that some of the highest risks to business can be attributed to the failure to find the right leaders with the right stuff and put them in the right roles. Part of hiring a right CEO is finding someone with that leadership “X Factor”, a quality that is hard to define, but is essential to success.
