Toronto, ONTARIO – After a busy year at the helm of Manulife Financial Corporation that saw him successfully captain the largest cross-border transaction in Canadian history by merging Manulife with John Hancock in the United States and thus create the largest public company and largest life insurance company in Canada based on market capitalization, Dominic D’Alessandro has clearly earned the accolades of his peers – as he is chosen as the CEO that they most admire and respect in 2004. And, when it comes to the defining characteristics of the most admired and respected CEOs in this country, the four categories which carry the most weight with CEOs are:
- Vision, focus, discipline or good strategy (52%, up 10 points since 2003);
- Financial performance (34%, down 4 points since 2003);
- Track record (27%, down 12 points since 2003); and
- Shareholder or investment value (22%, up 1 point since 2003).
