The sun went down on a beautiful day in #skopje Macedonia this week, the red carpet and torches were in place, the champayne was ready and The Business Awards 2024 had commenced.

In reflection, Biznis Lider had to be commended for the success of a spectacular event that brought the finalists of the top 100 companies together to celebrate its success.
The Top 500 companies were reviewed through a strict evaluation by revenue category in #macedonia, the companies have a total revenue of 21.2 billion euros.
The goal of the awards was to encourage the development and strengthening of a positive #business climate through the promotion of high business practice of the largest and most profitable companies, as well as the largest employers.
My #keynote focused on #collaboration, and #internationalgrowth, and coming together to celebrate #ambition, #sustainability, #innovation, #diversity and #resilience. It’s important that we celebrate business success stories and the role that this talent and ambition is playing in driving the Macedonian economy.
At one level, we are facing unprecedented opportunities. An interconnected world with tremendous, possibly unlimited, potential. Our ability to #communicate instantly through multiple mediums is phenomenal. Online educational capabilities can elevate entire nations.
At another level, we are facing unprecedented #risk – a war with no end in sight, raging inflation, fractured supply chains leading to food insecurity, millions of migrating people seeking safety, opportunity, or both, and climate change resulting in stronger hurricanes.
The challenge for people and businesses today is how to navigate through these two views, both of which are very real. We clearly cannot predict the future.
Organisations can gain resiliency and #trust through having sound #leadership at all levels and strong #cultures founded on #purpose, #responsibility, and #accountability. Long-term agility and growth come from that.
If this is implemented in conjunction with clear, concise direction from top #management, and in such a way that the middle and lower layers within the company are fully engaged, then the results can be meaningful. However, it is not a one-and-done endeavor.
Even after the company is fully aligned behind a compelling #strategy, #leaders must continue to reinforce resiliency and trust from the top.
After all, the goal is not to simply navigate today’s needed changes but also to create an organization poised for more change, and sometimes this requires reinvention to travel the terraine.
As Jimmy Dean once said "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination"
Congrats you guys! 🥳
