The late Steve Jobs still heads the Best CEO list, secured in that position by his stunning track record during his 14 years at the helm of Apple. During Jobs’ tenure, the Cupertino, California-based tech company saw its market value increase by US$359 billion from 1997 to 2011, and its shareholder return increase by an average compound annual growth rate of 35 percent.
Though Jobs died a little more than a year ago, such figures are “likely to go unbeaten for a long time”, according to the authors of the 2013 version of the CEO Scorecard, INSEAD Professors Morten Hansen, Herminia Ibarra and Urs Peyer. The full rankings can be found on the Harvard Business Review site (click here; full details will be featured in the next edition of INSEAD Knowledge on January 10, 2013).
