9 nominees, 5 finalists<\/h2>\n

Promoter Christophe VanDriessche: “I have been active in the recruitment profession for over 20 years and notice daily just how competitive the labor market is within ICT. Companies look very hard at each other and at external talent, while sometimes paying too little attention to internal talent. This is different, though, with our nominees and finalists. They focus instead on the growth of their own employees and give room for failure and success.”<\/p>\n

These five coaching leaders made the shortlist<\/a> this year:<\/p>\n
