Outstanding Professional Award 2015

rofessionals around the world are the most
desired lot to run big to medium size businesses
FOREWORD Pif not for politics where many have been lured
to. We talk of lawyers who are known to jump into
politics as well as doctors. Hospitals are in dire need not
necessarily of just doctors but business administrators
who can efficiently operate the hospitals. In the
finance and insurance industries, it is not just the
actuary but engineers who, today are called quants
who are aggressively pursuing them. In the military,

well-educated and trained soldiers are pursued
by governments to run departments and agencies
especially those dealing with its arms and equipment
purchase and maintenance management. Certified
Public Accountants and Auditors are scarce so much so
countries compete for them offering lucrative careers.

Interestingly enough it’s all about the Professionals.
It is all about the university of life’s experiences
that professionals are made of. It is described that
professionals are;

• Relating to a job that requires special education,
training, or skill
• Done or given by a person who works in a
particular profession
• Paid to participate in a sport or activity

However and whatever the job at hand, to date
professionals are identified to be the “top gun,” the
“head-honcho,” the CEO, and or General Manager.

They are there to secure success and profit if need be.
They are hired or participate in companies they own
or in partnership with. Professional are created and
trained to ensure success.

In the end, the true competition for the professionals
is entrepreneurship and not necessarily amongst
themselves. The Outstanding Professionals on the other
hand are the celebrated leaders of our communities
and our country SMI places center stage for 2015.
