The Harvard Business Review has brought out its 2018 list of the best-performing CEOs in the world. These CEOs have remained resilient enough which is why 70 out of the top 100 remain repeaters from last year’s list including Pablo Isla from Inditex who finds himself on top. The average tenure of CEOs on this list ahs been 16 years. This business research was holistic as it factored in the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues. The annual churn is relatively low. Among the prominent ones to muss out from last year’s list include WPP’s Martin Sorrell, Whole Foods’ John Mackey and L Brands’ Leslie Wexner. The number of women on the list is still relatively low. Among educational qualifications, engineering is the most common with 34 such entrants followed by MBA which has 32 proponents, up from 29 last year. The CEOs of the companies NVIDIA, LVMH, Kering, Continental, Salesforce, Valeo, KBC, Sysmex and Bouygues are the other names in the top ten.
