Surpassing Alibaba’s Jack Ma, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Melinda Gates and even the Pope Francis, Fortune Magazine named Chicago Cubs GM Theo Epstein the world’s greatest leader.
After Jeff Bezos, other notables in the top 10 include Film Director Ava Duvernay (No. 6), National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster (No. 7), Tsai Ing-wen, president of Taiwan, comes in at No. 8; Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at No. 9, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel (No. 10).
Melinda Gates is the top ranked woman to make the list, coming in 4th — “Where’s Bill?”
Bill Gates is nowhere on the list.
Rounding out the top 15 are LeBron James, Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.), Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and Katharine Hayhoe.
