Glassdoor Just Named the Top 100 CEOs (and the Results Might Surprise You)
Glassdoor just announced the results of its 2017 Employees' Choice Awards for the highest-rated CEOs leading companies with 1,000 or more employees in North America and parts of Europe. The results are based on the anonymous feedback of employees who complete a company review of their CEO's leadership.
While some of the CEOs are household names (everyone's heard of Elon Musk, No. 8, and Mark Zuckerberg, No. 10), many of the CEOs are relatively unknown to the general public. Regardless, each has earned a spot on the Glassdoor list.
Here, then, are the top-100 CEOs for 2017. Is yours on the list?
