Two DGMs among Sri Lanka’s Greatest Managers

Browns Agriculture Deputy General Manager Sanjaya Nissanka and Browns Batteries Deputy General Manager Ajith De Silva were recognised and honoured for their great leadership and management skills as Great Managers at the Great Manager Awards 2017 held at the Kingsbury recently.

The benchmark achievement by the two DGMs hoisted Brown and Company Plc’s score to the top of the Medium Scale Company category, securing Browns the award of a Company with Great Managers at the Great Manager Awards 2017.

Presented by the People’s Business and Colombo Leadership Academy, the Great Managers Awards program was highly competitive with over 200 nominated managers from well-established corporate companies who were assessed on key managerial criteria based on an R-OPTI model. The shortlisted candidates were interviewed several times and assessed for over a period of eight months by a panel of industry experts.

The GMA assessed the management style and execution, result-orientation, people management and development and rewarding practices, aiming to identify and award the best managers in the corporate sector.

The program also awarded the Companies with Great Managers accolade by assessing the organisational managerial quotient via the cumulative score of the shortlisted candidates. With the accomplishment of Nissanka and De Silva, Brown & Company Plc was named a Company with Great Managers.

Nissanka and De Silva accepted the accolades for their benchmark achievement while Group HR Senior Vice President Paduma Subasinghe accepted the Company with Great Managers Award on behalf of Brown and Company Plc.
