Re: World's Greatest Leaders
Like most "greatest" lists, I'm sure this will breed some disagreement.
But Taylor Swift makes the list, and Malala Yousafzai does not ? ?
It looks like Fortune has a different criteria than I do.

Re: World's Greatest Leaders
Ha, I was thinking the same thing when I came across Taylor Swift on the list. No disrespect to her personally, but it's like playing a game of spot which one doesn't quite belong with the others. Although, if money making is up there in the criteria, which it seems to be, I guess she does fit. I have a hard time with lists that mix people with the ability to make lots of money with people who are literally saving lives and promoting peace. It seems that they should maybe be on 2 different lists.

Re: World's Greatest Leaders
You know, I haven't anything against Ms Swift.
But including her in a list of the worlds greatest leaders?
That's all I have to read.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Maybe on the list of tweens' greatest leaders instead. But world's greatest leaders? Nah.

Re: World's Greatest Leaders
The list was obviously done without great thought or insight.
