Which Coins2Day 500 CEO is most admired by his or her peers?
That’s one of the questions that we asked on this year’s CEO poll, and got a flood of answers. But two names stood out:
J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon was the choice of 24% of the CEOs responding.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was the choice of 17% of those responding.
No one else came close, although Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Walmart’s Doug McMillon each got 7% of the vote.
Others with more than one mention: Disney’s Bob Iger, AGCO’s Martin Richenhagen, and Marriott’s Arne Sorenson. The one female CEO to get a mention: Occidental’s Vicki Hollub, who beat out Chevron in the battle over Anadarko.
And here’s a bonus question: If CEOs have the time to watch television, what’s the one show they watch? A lot of sports and business answers here. But when it comes to entertainment, CEOs apparently watch the same thing as the rest of us: Game of Thrones. Some 17% of the CEOs named the show as their one TV pleasure. Lessons in leadership, I guess.
