Barron's: The World's Best CEOs
Tim Cook of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) did not make the cut in the annual ranking of the best chief executive officers in the world, according to this week's cover story in Barron's. But the list of 30 CEOs does include 10 new members.
"30 Top CEOs Make Barron's List" by Alexander Eule suggests that the troubles in Asia, tumbling energy prices, lukewarm corporate earnings, weakness in retail and other turbulent worldwide economic issues resulted in 10 CEOs being ousted from the 12th annual Barron's list. Among their replacements were Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMCSA), Brian Roberts of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) and Mark Parker of Nike Inc (NYSE: NKE).
Barron's said its "annual list of top CEOs reflects the collective wisdom of the publication's editors and writers. There are no specific criteria we seek, other than a history of strong leadership over a lengthy period; our preferred tenure is five years or more in the top job. "
Among those who held onto their places on the list are well-know, lauded chiefs such as Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A), Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Reed Hastings of Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Howard Schultz of Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX). Check out the article to find out why those new to the list, those returning and those who fell short placed the way they did.
