Committees and jury: Nominate and select the award winners.

Every nomination has its own story. Therefore, the selection of award winners must be plausible, independent, fair and comprehensible. We try to fulfil this requirement in the best possible way with the committee-related division of roles and tasks as well as the annually rotating, diverse composition of the jury team.


The Leadership Award Management.

The award management consists of the ILD Leadership Award founders or the overall executive management. The Award Management can make nominations, but has no voting rights in the selection of the Award winners.

Tasks of the Leadership Award management:

  • Leadership & management of the award ceremony
  • Committee organisation with the right to appoint and fill positions
  • Relationship & co-operation partner management
  • Appointment of the Award Core Team

Members of the Award Management:

  • Bernd Fricke, business representative
  • Stefan Schönholz, founder of ILD and the ILD Leadership Award, Chairman
  • Frank Strathus, founder of ILD and the ILD Leadership Award, Chairman
  • Andreas Schröteler, chartered accountant
  • Andrea Wilke, lawyer

The Leadership Award Core Team.

Four to six members of the Core Team are part of the annual Award Jury. The Award Core consists of 15 permanent members with representatives from business, science, associations and the Award sponsoring organisation.

Tasks of the Leadership Award Core Team:

  • Forming the annual jury together with the award management
  • Contributing its own network, expanding and maintaining networks
  • Carrying out the annual nomination, evaluation and selection process
  • Right to nominate and vote on the selection and decision of the annual award winners

Members of the Leadership Award Core Team:

  • Prof Ayad Al-Ani (Science)

The award juror pool.

The open award jury pool consists of changing individuals who are committed to establishing overarching cooperation and effective good leadership. Accordingly, all ILD Leadership Award recipients are automatically members of the jury pool. These are executives from business, science, media and associations as well as representatives from politics and society.

The main tasks of the Juror Pool Rotation are to participate in the annual nomination, evaluation and selection process, provided they have been appointed to the annual jury for the Award Team’s award process. Here, too, the best possible diversity should be taken into account when making appointments.

The formation of the annual Award Jury.

The members of the annual Award Jury (approx. 8 to 12 jurors) are appointed by the Award Management and the Award Core Team and are made up equally as follows:

  • Jury members from the pool of jurors
  • Jury members from the Award Core Team
  • The greatest possible diversity in terms of gender, generation and substantial management experience should be taken into account.
