Nomination Opens for "Directors Of The Year Awards 2021"
Themed "Leading in New Normal"
HONG KONG, Jun 03, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - The "Directors Of The Year Awards 2021" championed by The Hong Kong Institute of Directors ("HKIoD") is open for nominations today. "Leading in New Normal" is the theme of the Awards this year, aiming to promote a positive attitude and mindset among directors in navigating the complex global environment in 2021. Outstanding directors and boards capable of dynamic steering in circumstances ever-changing, and leading their organisations towards sustainable development will be acknowledged.
Dr Christopher To, Chairman of HKIoD, said, "According to a global director survey co-organised by HKIoD, two-thirds of the company directors responded said they have committed 50 percent or more time in leading their companies in recalibrating corporate focus and strategy in the Covid-19 crisis. And, among the respondents who gave high marks to themselves and their management teams, many credited prior scenario planning as a good foundation for responding effectively to the tests brought by the pandemic. From their responses, it is clear that being prepared is the key to success of directors in their roles. This year, we look forward to honouring directors who have worked hard and upheld a positive attitude in facing challenges and overcoming adversities. "
