He scores above GE’s CEO Jeff Immelt at the number 8 slot in the list released by THE ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE UNIT AND BURSON-MARSTELLER: the global public affairs firm. The global survey named Microsoft chairman and chief architect Bill Gates as the world’s most admired leaders. The other Indian to figure in the list is Lakshmi N Mittal, at No.15.
The survey polled more than 600 global business influential’s in the 65 countries. “Business decision-makers voted for long-term performance and proven track records over fleeting success,” said Patrick ford, Burson-Marsteller’s Global corporate\financial practice chair. “The tenures of these top ranking CEO’s are not short-lived. They had an average tenure of 21 years.”
