Leadership
HUL has produced many business leaders for corporate India, including Harish Manwani, the non-executive chairman of HUL and currently the Chief Operating Officer of Unilever. He is also a member of Unilever Leadership Executive team (ULE), which comprises the company’s top management and is responsible for managing Unilever’s profit and loss, and delivering growth across its regions, categories and functions. Nitin Paranjpe has been the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company since April 2008. He is also Executive Vice President, South Asia, Unilever and is also the executive head of the South Asia cluster for Unilever.
HUL's leadership-building potential was recognized when it was ranked 4th in the Hewitt Global Leadership Survey 2007 with only GE, P&G and Nokia ranking ahead of HUL in the ability to produce leaders with such regularity. A study conducted by Aon Hewitt, The RBL Group and Fortune in 2011, ranked the company number six in the list of ‘Top Companies for Leaders 2011 Study Results’. The company was awarded the CII- Prize for Leadership in HR Excellence at the 2nd CII National HR Conclave 2011 held on October 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word leadership:
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
