Home - Management Today Women in Leadership Power List

RECOGNISING WOMEN WITH A DEMONSTRABLE TRACK RECORD OF BUSINESS SUCCESS

CELEBRATING OUTSTANDING LEADERS WHO ARE MAKING A LASTING IMPACT

The Management Today Women in Leadership Power List exists to recognise, champion, and amplify female leaders already operating at the highest levels of UK business.

Unlike awards that spotlight rising stars, this platform recognises proven power: C-suite executives, directors, and heads of function driving growth, transformation, and innovation.

It celebrates those whose impact goes beyond potential and into proven influence, leaders steering strategy, driving transformation, and shaping the future of British business today.

It’s the definitive recognition of women at the very top of business today.

JUDGING THE AWARDS

The Management Today Women in Leadership List is judged by the most valuable critics - your peers.

Our expert judging panels will consist of numerous industry professionals representing the full breadth that UK Business and Management has to offer. The judges are selected based on their expertise, experience and integrity and we pride ourselves on our rigorous and objective judging process.

Nominations to get involved are welcome from across the sector, either for yourself or a colleague using the link below. The final judging panel will be comprised of an inclusive range of individuals to fully represent the industry. Our aim is to give as many diverse voices (women, BAME, LGBTQ+, different ages / seniority, people with disabilities) a chance to determine the results of this industry-leading event.

For more than five decades, Management Today has been the media brand that brings business leaders together. Whether it’s through our award-winning print magazine, our energising live events or brilliant awards programmes, we lead the conversation with disruptive and innovative organisations – and the people behind them. We understand in painstaking detail the things that motivate and challenge leaders, from strategic growth to sustainability, and talk to them with knowledge, passion and authority.
