| The Asia Business Leader Awards aims to
recognise Asia's outstanding CEOs who have demonstrated superior leadership
skills in managing highly successful businesses in their respective
countries or in Asia. ABLA has a three-phase judging process, based
on a combination of criteria including financial performance, leadership,
creativity and innovation, and social responsibility. The judges comprise
journalists, retired business leaders/CEOs or professionals with Asia
experience, Asian corporate strategists, academics and international
management thinkers. They evaluate candidates on their ability to
create success in creating short-term advantage, long-term value,
enhancing their competitive edge, and the demonstration of leadership
in the business community.
Each event usually takes place over two days, and incorporates
an awards presentation ceremony and gala dinner presided by high-level
guests-of-honour, business leaders' summit and a CEOs' golf challenge.
"Malaysia's economy is one of the most vibrant in Southeast
Asia... Hosting the next ABLA in Malaysia represents an extension
of CNBC Asia's commitment to the business community residing there,"
Brown is quoted in the release as saying.
