Tristar Wins Golden Peacock Business Excellence Award
Tristar Group received the Golden Peacock Business Excellence Award today, March 5, during the opening session of the Annual 2024 UAE Global Convention by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India, held at the Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel.
The award is presented to organizations in different sectors which are adjudged to have made the most significant achievements in the field of Business Excellence.
Tristar Group CEO Eugene Mayne (2nd right) received the Golden Peacock from Indian Ambassador to the UAE, H.E. Sunjay Sudhir (2nd left). With them are IOD, India President Lt. Gen. Surinder Nath (left), PVSM, AVSM (Retd) and Tristar Group Chief Administrative Office Balaji Nagabhushan (right).
Mr. Mayne was one of the convention’s keynote speakers whose theme is ‘Leadership for Business Excellence and Innovation’. He talked about future-proofing business against uncertainties and the Board’s role in steering this strategy.
He cited the astonishing success story of Abu Dhabi as a ‘sterling example, from desert settlement to 21st century city, with adequate fortification for a very distant future’ whose leader, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, ‘had an intimate knowledge of his people, a clear vision for modernisation, and the ability to identify the right people who would turn his far-ranging plans into reality’.
“Future-proofing a business is daunting, but it is imminent. If you are having trouble getting started, shorten the distance between where you are, and where you focus. Marathon runners don’t dwell on the end of the race, they focus on getting around the next corner. Then, the next corner,” he explained.
In his closing statement, Mr. Mayne challenged the attendees: “Let’s ask ourselves this one question: What is the smallest step we can take today to mark some progress tomorrow?”
