Barron's annual list of the World's Best CEOs is out, and Steve Jobs is there again for "Dazzling techdom on two fronts." As the CEO of Apple Computer and Pixar, Mr. Jobs is watched by investors closer than any other person in Silicon Valley. He changed the computer industry with the Mac, and now the music industry with the iPod.
Barron's list of the top CEOs includes 30 executives. Each person is chosen based on their tenure, stock gains, leadership strength and industry stature. Other notable CEOs on the list include Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, Fred Goodwin of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Arthur Levinson of Genentech, and Jong-Yong Yun of Samsung Electronics.
