The eight questions on the application form are designed to give us a deep insight into who you are as a leader and the results you achieve.

Current Alumni often comment that the process of answering the questions provided an opportunity for deep reflection, and celebration, of the road already travelled.

At a high level, your answers will provide us with an insight into your leadership approach, cognitive ability, how you lead others, your drive, resilience, integrity, mindset, emotional intelligence, your approach to equality, and your knowledge of the business.

All finalists will have a one-to-one interview with a Global CEO to deep dive into their application and decide their category winner. This is an opportunity to gain valuable insights into your professional experience, and build confidence as an executive ready for progression.
