Business school professors Jeff Dyer, Nathan Furr and Mike Hendron teamed up with consultant Curtis Lefrandt to measure four essential leadership qualities of top founders and CEOs: media reputation for innovation, social connections, track record for value creation and investor expectations for value creation. The researchers then ranked these visionaries in a high-powered selection of 100 innovators at top U.S. companies.
There were 102 total, “Larry Page and Sergey Brin” are #10 together (CEO and president of Google’s parent company, Alphabet).
As a lot of folks pointed out, there was 1 woman on the list, Barbara Rentler, CEO of Ross stores since 2014, Barbara was #75 on the list, and no photo.
“The core social message—that Forbes’ editors picked 100 innovative leaders, while including only one woman—would anger me too.”
…
“Our methodology was flawed, as well—at a minimum when it came to being more expansive with who was eligible to be ranked.”
…
“Forbes’ brand stems from inclusive, entrepreneurial capitalism—the idea that free markets, open to all, have proved the best-ever system to produce wealth and happiness and solve societal problems. In this year alone, we’ve called for a reimagination of capitalism, produced our first-ever Under 30 event focusing on women and launched an editorial channel focused on diversity and inclusion. After this weekend, add a rethink of America’s Most Innovative Leaders to that task list.”
