Leadership during challenging
times
I
t hasn't been easy to be a
decision-maker over the last year-
plus.
Managing profits and losses
amid the pandemic has been
a major challenge. But the even
bigger test has been managing the
workforce.
Whether it's been navigating a fully
remote or hybrid workforce, trying
to decide how to handle vaccine
mandates, or refocusing efforts on
diversity and inclusion, leaders have
faced myriad tough decisions on how
to keep workers both safe and happy.
As part of Hartford Business
Journal's 2021 C-suite Awards, we
recognize top executives who have
made significant contributions to their
companies over the last year. We've
identified leaders who stood out for
their commitment to excellence and
guiding their companies through
extremely difficult conditions amid
the COVID-19 pandemic.
They range from CEOs and
executive directors to CFOs and
chief marketing officers.
In this special section we
also honor some longtime local
executives who have made lasting
impacts on the business community
with Lifetime Achievement Awards.
They include Jim Loree, CEO of
Stanley Black & Decker and Kim
Beauregard, president and CEO of
InterCommunity Health Care.
In terms of methodology, the
business community was invited to
nominate C-suite executives for both
awards and the winners were chosen
by HBJ's editorial staff.
We'll be honoring all of our winners
at a special event Oct. 6, at 5:30 p.m.
at Farmington Gardens.
We hope you can join us. If not,
please join us in recognizing and
congratulating these top local
leaders.
