2017 AABLAs judging criteria revealed

The annual All Africa Business Leaders Awards have officially closed their entries for the year 2017, marking a significant milestone in celebrating exemplary leadership across the African continent. With the judging process now underway, Jon Foster-Pedley, the Dean and Director of Henley Business School, sheds light on the rigorous criteria and the importance of the AABLAs in promoting integrity, creativity, and contribution to society. The awards not only recognize financial success but also emphasize the value of leadership and innovation in navigating challenges and inspiring the next generation of leaders. As Africa faces political uncertainty and economic growth challenges, the AABLAs provide a platform to honor individuals who have demonstrated resilience and made a positive impact in their respective industries. The awards seek to spotlight a diverse range of leaders, including women entrepreneurs, social innovators, and industrialists, highlighting the dynamic and transformative work being done across the continent. It is crucial to ensure that the judging process remains fair, transparent, and focused on rewarding individuals who are not only successful but also socially conscious and actively engaged with civil society and government. By recognizing outstanding leadership and ethical conduct, the AABLAs aim to set a high standard for aspiring business leaders and promote a culture of excellence and collaboration within the African business community.
