Great leaders inspire by setting examples that others want to follow. Many of the top leaders, past and present, are in business or politics, and are making their mark on generations.
But which leaders do millennials admire the most?
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has ranked ninth among eleven global leaders who the millennials admire the most in 2015, according to a survey of the World Economic Forum.
South Africa’s anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela ranked first, Pope Francis ranked second, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX Elon Musk ranked third, Mahatma Gandhi fourth, Bill Gates fifth, Barack Obama sixth, English businessman Richard Branson seventh, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs eighth while Indian prime minister Narendra Modi ranked tenth and American business magnate Warren Buffett ranked eleventh.
With responses from 125 countries worldwide and 285 cities, the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Annual Survey 2015 is one of the most geographically diverse surveys of millennials.
The more than 1,000 respondents are all members of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community, a network of over 450 city-based hubs of young, civically engaged leaders aged between 20 and 30. And these are the top 11 leaders, present and past, that inspire them the most.
