Standing Out From The Crowd
In addition to announcing the Top 100 Best Places to Work in Dallas-Fort Worth, 74,500 DFW workers chose three top local CEOs as leaders of the year in the large, midsize and small business categories. Their employees all placed direction from their leaders as the most important quality in making their companies an outstanding workplace. All three CEOs of the Year live up to this. That’s why JP Piccinini, Frost Prioleau and Mike Barnett are this year’s top leaders.
