So it’s one thing to judge the success of a company – and by extension, its CEO – according to quarterly earnings, projected growth, total assets, and the CEO’s personal net worth. But money is just one aspect of what it means to be successful in life and in business. So here’s a different take on the “top 20 CEOs in America” from the employees’ point of view.
Glassdoor surveyed thousands of workers who voluntarily posted reviews on their website. They were asked if they approve of the way their CEO is handling the job of leaving the company they work for. Glassdoor then calculated the percentage approval rating for each CEO. Here are the top 20 CEOs with the best approval ratings by their employees. You’ll see some big names you might expect, like Facebook and Google, and others that you may not have even heard of – but even though they may not be household names, they have been successful at getting their employee’s admiration!
