‘An Exchange, Not Just an Award
‘At the Global Excellence and Leadership
‘Awards by Insights Excellence Awards in
Singapore, instead of simply accepting the
Visionary IT and Digital Transformation
Leader of the Year 2026 trophy and moving
on, | turned the moment into something more
meaningful
Ihanded Joseph Bakhsh a copy of The
Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett , the same
book I had been carrying throughout this trip.
Joseph leads with a people first philosophy,
something he describes through Connect,
Appreciate, Relate, and Engage, and it felt
fitting to exchange more than just a
handshake on stage LUI
Trophies look great on a shelf, but books
change how people think. If this small
exchange means Joseph picks it up during a
flight or a quiet evening and takes away even
one idea that helps him lead better, then the
award meant something far bigger than
recognition, it became a bridge Q
Sometimes the most valuable part of winning
something is not the award itself, it is what
you choose to do with the moment and the
platform it gives you Jl,
