In its 20th year, the Boss of the Year Awards pays tribute to good leadership practices in the workplace.

Every year, from hundreds of nominations received, 15 entries make it to the semi-finals, from which 6 finalist are chosen. The task of getting the eventual winner from the 6 finalist is often arduous – all the more glory to the person that gets crowned.

The Boss of the Year Award® acts as a barometer of the South African nation and its places of work, because annually the entries received and the finalists chosen reflect WHO is doing a good leadership job, and WHERE.
