America’s Top 50 highest rated CEOs

Glassdoor can count on one less ‘like’ for their ’50 Highest Rated CEOs 2014′ report: Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has lost ground to Linked CEO Jeff Weiner in the latest ranking.

Glassdoor, a website that catalogs information about workplaces, published a list of the top 50 highest rated company CEOs, based on employee feedback. In 2013, Zuckerberg, Facebook’s well-known CEO, topped the list with a 99% approval rating. He’s been bumped down a few notches this year, but still managed to rank as one of the top ten tech company CEOs. This year, Weiner received a 100 percent approval rating taking him to the top of the list.

Glassdoor compiled its figures based on company reviews submitted by employees between February 1, 2013 and January 31, 2014.  These figures are open to some degree of manipulation: company executives are known to plug in positive reviews for their own company from time to time.

So what makes for a good CEO as per employees? Glassdoor CEO and co-founder offers some insights: “We find on Glassdoor that a strong leader is often one who has the ability to clearly communicate the vision for the company and who helps employees see how their work connects to the big picture. In addition, top rated CEOs are commonly seen as relatable, accessible and transparent.”

Here are the Top CEOs in America that rule 2014 thus far, according to Glassdoor
