A new award introduced in 1999, we asked all participating companies to vote for the most admirable business leader of the year, and here are the results.

1. Sir John Browne, BP

2. Chris Gent, Vodafone
3. Gerry Robinson, Granada

Sir John Browne (left) is again Most Admired Leader and he achieves this accolade with a huge margin to spare. He is an unlikely hero: a workaholic ex-physicist with a powerful intellect and elegantly ascetic lifestyle. Unlikely, maybe, but the clear choice of those polled by MT - his peers.

In second place is
Chris Gent (centre) of the now enormous Vodafone Group, who is currently engaged in the lengthy process of bedding down all his recently acquired assets.

Third is Gerry Robinson (right) of Granada, who has been busy dividing up his empire - to widespread approval.
