Judging
Recognizing Outstanding Leadership
 

Courage to dream, commitment to a vision, strength to lead and the spirit to create are traits of a true leader. Rare but necessary qualities in today's dynamic business environment.

Asia ’s business leaders who epitomize these qualities are true innovators. They have extraordinary talent, remarkable mastery and spectacular precision, with a powerful influence on business today as well as on the way it will evolve in future.

The CNBC Asia Business Leader Awards recognizes individuals whose vision, excellence and achievements in the business community are an inspiration to their peers and beyond.

 
 
"The 7th Annual CNBC Asia Business Leaders Awards recognizes those business leaders that have demonstrated the ability to understand, confront and master today's business challenges. They have a keen vision for the future and creatively lead their companies to achieve their vision.  They adapt quickly to new and ever changing opportunities in this era of globalization. These outstanding business leaders are innovative, forward thinking, and demonstrate the insight necessary to succeed in today's ever-changing business environment."

"CNBC’s Asia Business Leaders Awards (ABLA) selects the best of leaders across Asia. The last ABLA held in Seoul was no exception. Outstanding award winners from companies like Unilever, Toyota, Neusoft and Mastek were recognized for their excellence in innovation, strategy, talent development, and corporate sustainability. There are dozens of Asia award programs, but there is only one ABLA."
