My original post of The Greatest Leaders from the Past 100 years continually stirs up more interest than any other list I have ever posted. 100 years is a long time. And there are lots of people that can be missed on a list covering 100 years. For example, John Wooden should probably be on that list. He is a leadership legend.
So let's think more current day. More present generation. How about the Greatest Leaders from the past 10 years? 2000-2010?
Here are my thoughts. Obviously it's really hard to narrow it down to 10 people. And this is only my opinion, granted. Please add your thoughts and more names to the conversations.
1. Steve Jobs
2. Condaleezza Rice
3. Bono
4. Bill and Melinda Gates
5. Rick Warren
6. Chris Anderson- Curator of TED.
7. Tony Dungy
8. Seth Godin
9. Jim Collins
10. David Petraeus
also should be considered:
George Bush
Oprah Winfrey
Paul Kigame- president of Rwanda
Mike Krzyzewski- head basketball coach at Duke
Jeff Bezos- CEO of Amazon
Warren Buffett
