There are literally thousands with the title, But only a few who are genuinely great at this
increasingly demanding job. Here's how Worth identified the 50 best.
從字面上來說，有許許多多的CEO，但是真正在這個(gè)職位表現(xiàn)不凡的卻是極少數(shù)人。現(xiàn)在，就讓我們來為
您介紹50位最佳CEO吧。
It is testimony to the rising importance and visibility of the CEO that there's no longer
any need to explain what these quintessentially businesslike initials stand for. The image of
the CEO has taken its lumps during the past few decades. In the 1970s, the CEO was a bumbling
bureaucrat who couldn't even build a car that would stay in one piece. In the 1980s, the CEO was
a rapacious plunderer, vilified for laying off honest folk just to acquire a more lavish jet.
But today, CEOs are popularly regarded as a new celebrity class--even a nouveau aristocracy. Not
so much as captains of industry but as wealth creators. Innovators. Visionaries. The modern CEO-
- including the most nerdy among them--even has sex appeal.
隨著CEO工作的重要性和能見度的日益提高，在此我們已經(jīng)不必要再去詳細(xì)解釋這幾個(gè)精確的、商業(yè)性的
大寫字母所代表的含義了。在過去的幾十年中，CEO的形象幾經(jīng)風(fēng)雨。二十世紀(jì)七十年代，CEO只是一個(gè)裝模作
樣的官僚主義者的形象，他們甚至不懂得如何制造汽車，只能固步自封。二十世紀(jì)八十年代的CEO是一個(gè)貪婪
的掠奪者的形象，他們鄙視和排斥他人，只是為了滿足他們的貪欲。而今，CEO已經(jīng)被普遍視為一個(gè)新的名人
團(tuán)體——甚至可以說是一個(gè)新近產(chǎn)生的貴族。他們并非行業(yè)的最高代言人，但是他們卻是財(cái)富的創(chuàng)造者、革新
者和預(yù)見者�，F(xiàn)代的CEO——包括他們當(dāng)中最差勁的人——都具有一種巨大的魅力。
The rising popularity of investing, of course, has made CEOs more prominent as public
figures. If they don't know it to begin with, shareholders quickly learn that a CEO's decisions
and pronouncements can have a profound and often sudden impact on the value of their holdings.
Fortunes can be made or lost in an instant. It's a relationship certain to create both heroes
and goats.
當(dāng)然，日益發(fā)展的投資行業(yè)也是CEO成為較出名的公眾人物的原因之一。當(dāng)股東們不知道應(yīng)該如何啟動(dòng)市
場(chǎng)開始運(yùn)營(yíng)時(shí)，他們很快就會(huì)知道CEO的決策和聲明對(duì)于他們的資產(chǎn)的價(jià)值將產(chǎn)生多么深遠(yuǎn)和迅速的影響。財(cái)
富很可能會(huì)在一瞬間獲得，也可能會(huì)在一瞬間失去。這種關(guān)系就好像英雄和平凡人的產(chǎn)生過程一樣。
未完待續(xù)——
