TBBJ Editor Alexis Muellner explained in this July 10, 2024 announcement that this new program answers the question of "Who do the admired admire?". He wrote, in part: "The Most Admired CEO program exists because there is a demand for recognition for job growth and creation, community leadership and vision, innovation, mergers and acquisitions finesse, and broad corporate success. The program is a tribute to outstanding management, acknowledging individuals who stand at the pinnacle of their organizations. These leaders have steered their companies and organizations to success with a clear ethical compass."
