This award is a real joke. How they nominated themselves, pay for the entry and then judged need to be questioned. What were the criteria to be a winner?????.
The 2016 winner makes a mockery of those real CEO who have build formidable and organisations from the ground up.
Real CEOs do not need to be awarded.
Far from being a joke, these awards are held in very high regard. Last year’s winner, Christine Holgate had this to say:
“Words can not describe the gratitude that I have for winning the CEO of the Year award last year. The endorsement and recognition has made a very significant impact for both Blackmores and I. Although the award was given to myself the team at Blackmores all felt proud that our business would be recognized this way and it has certainly aided our performance and contribution.
Just this week I have been so privileged to be included in a 12 person mission with the Australian Government in China to have a ‘dialogue’ with the Chinese Government. When I was introduced by a Chinese Minister, he highlighted the award and I have no doubt that the recognition of the award was a significant contributory factor to being chosen to be included.
Post the evening I received considerable feedback from Women from all walks of life and from many countries. I equally would not under estimate the strength of the award had on motivating and inspiring others, who like I come from ordinary family backgrounds to step up and strive for more with the renewed confidence they both can do it and will be recognized for it.”
We are about opening doors, empowering people and inspiring the business world. And nights like this help to do just that.
