I was wondering when a FRriend would post this story. I am not excited about Tim Cook pulling number one spot. For a quick look at the list, go here:

Well, Murray did base things on who “mastered” their circumstances. And this bit of criticism is omitted from the FN story:
Abroad, the record is worse. Many wise foreign-policy analysts believe the President’s public waffling on Syria not only fed the terrorism of the Islamic State, but also emboldened thugs around the world—notably Vladimir Putin. The President has dismissed their criticism by saying he is “less concerned about style points.” But when it comes to leadership, style matters.

In his book On Becoming a Leader, the late Warren Bennis said the differences between leaders and managers are “the differences between those who master the context and those who surrender to it.” It’s a good distinction. Faced with difficult circumstances, President Obama has surrendered.
