surveyed and the best leadership development
programs were judged by the following criteria
Vision, Involvement, Measurement , Curriculum,
Delivery, Reach, Value, Impact on the

100 possess a rare combination of substance and
presentation style, inspiring action and
real-world performance, while working tirelessly
towards implementing change. In terms of where
you fit overall in the top 100 in any Category, I
would rank you in the Top 10, Ken Shelton,

environment and its outstanding executive
