In research done by the firm Glassdoor where employees’ evaluated the leading business people, Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg got the best results. Specifically, Zuckerberg was supported by as much as 99% of Facebook's employees during the 12 months period that ended on 24th February, while the last year in the same survey he was supported by only 85% of them. At the same time, last year leading Apple CEO Tim Cook dropped from 99% to 85%.

Glassdoor every year interviews hundreds of thousands of employees in leading companies in industry, and then they publish a list of 50 best rated CEOs. On this year's list of you can find 20 CEOs from technology companies and CEOs from this field also hold two leading places. Specifically, the second on the list is the SAP CEO Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, with 99% of those who support them.

We saw the same type of data presented for Steve Jobs, Tim Cook and a few others that probably did not deserve the honor. Still it brings in investors or calms existing ones (as in the case of Tim Cook). For most of us this type of report is nothing more than a little entertainment...]
