When Shuman accepted the honor, he said, “In a world order that has changed…an in a world where social media has completely changed the way we communicate, don’t underestimate the impact you can have in your own organization. Act as a business leader in human capital management and learn to speak the language of your customers.” Shuman finished off his acceptance speech with a quote from Colin Powell.
