Cross-section of industry provides Boss of the Year finalists

Six finalists for the Boss of the Year 2011 Award are geared up for the National Bosses Day gala banquet luncheon at the Hilton Hotel, Sandton on 14 October 2011. They represent an extensive cross-section of industries - from food to construction, water supply to banking and accounting to mining.

  • Andrew Skudder - enterprise capability director at Murray & Roberts
  • Chantyl Mulder - senior executive: professional development, transformation and growth for the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants
  • Chris Mukoki - head of secured lending credit granting, Standard Bank
  • Gerald Dumas - MD of Johannesburg Water
  • Greg Solomon - MD of McDonald's South Africa
  • Octavia Matshidiso Matloa - CEO of Mukundi Mining Resources

Eunice Maluleke, GM of MTN SA Foundation, patron and sponsor of the awards, says, "Leadership is both a responsibility and privilege, whether one is leading a company, a country or a class; the emphasis should always be about the team and the results that can be achieved. But since the team is made of individuals, it is the leader's responsibility to nurture and recognise individual strengths.

"We believe that the 2011 finalists have all displayed this crucial leadership ability and are an asset to their businesses and to the country. We encourage other leaders to follow in their footsteps and contribute to the building of a brighter future for our nation."
