Which CEOs Have the Highest and Worst Approval Ratings?
Kevin Maney writes: Really, I love the kind of information Glassdoor.com is exposing about what's going on inside big companies. Most brilliant of all is that Glassdoor gets employees to rate their own CEOs, which results in CEO approval ratings that are similar to approval ratings of presidents and governors.
Glassdoor sent me the latest list of the top 10 CEO approval ratings, and the bottom 10. The big surprises in technology: Employees love Intuit CEO Brad Smith and EMC CEO Joe Tucci. Who knew? (NOT a surprise that Apple employees adore Steve Jobs.)
As you might expect, the bottom ratings mostly come from companies in turmoil, led by Pat Russo at Alcatel-Lucent and Greg Brown at Motorola (who has dropped from a 19% approval rating a month or so ago to 11% now).
The ratings:
Most popular CEOs with more than 50 reviews:
1. Steve Jobs, Apple - 90%
2. Brad D. Smith Intuit - 87%
3. Eric E. Schmidt, Google - 86%
4. Jim Turley, Ernst & Young - 83%
5. John T. Chambers, Cisco - 82%
6. Shantanu Narayen, Adobe - 77%
7. Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase - 76%
8. Jim Quigley, Deloitte - 71%
9. Joe Tucci, EMC - 68%
10. Jeff Bezos, Amazon - 68%
CEO's with approval ratings lower than George W. Bush (who is at 30% according to CNN/Opinion Research):
1. Pat Russo, Alcatel-Lucent - 6%
2. Greg Brown, Motorola - 11%
3. Anthony LaFetra, Rain Bird - 11%
4. Kerry K. Killinger, Washington Mutual - 14%
5. Kevin W. Sharer, Amgen - 14%
6. Ron Rittenmeyer, EDS - 15%
7. Randy Falco, AOL - 17%
8. Mike Laphen, Computer Sciences - 21%
9. Neil M. Ashe, CNET Networks - 23%
10. H. Lee Scott Jr., Wal-Mart - 25%
