Top CEOs from Glassdoor
Facebook is a pretty different company than Ernst & Young, proving that employees can trust and love their CEO even if they’re not working for the world’s most-talked about company. Apple took the 18th spot, behind companies like EMC, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and U.S. Bank, which see a bit less of the spotlight.
“While anyone can assume a position in leadership, not everyone garners their employees’ support for how they lead the company. The CEOs who are most successful in gaining employee approval are those who paint a clear vision of what the company is setting out to achieve and how it’s going to get there,” said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor CEO and co-founder. “To be recognized by your employees as a strong leader also comes as a result of having a solid company culture that helps employees foster the skills necessary to move business forward and meet the needs of customers.”
What do you think makes a great CEO? Do the best leaders give up an office to work next to their employees like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook? Are two CEOs better than one, like Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabbe of SAP? Share your thoughts!
