THE TOP 10 MOST INFLUENTIAL LEADERSHIP GURUS

 

In judging the contenders we focused on two groups, which excluded political, military and business leaders and focused on those practitioners who develop and instil leadership in others. Those in the Top 10 Gurus are the “Cream of the Crop”, the World’s Top 10 most influential Leadership Professionals and received more than 1000 votes each. All not only apply their own leadership principals to achieve superior results in their organizations, but develop and influence leaders and leadership throughout the globe.

 

Our research came from e-mails sent to 22,000 business people, consultants, academics and MBA’s around the world for nominations and our public opinion poll.

 We shortlist 60 names then did a Google search for ranking.

 The criteria for judging the TOP 10 focused on: Originality of ideas, practicality of ideas, presentation style, international outlook, impact of ideas, quality of publications and writings, dispersion of publications and writings, public opinion, guru factor.
