Fortune magazine recently released their list of the world’s top 50 leaders, and missing from that list is the current president, President Obama.
The cast of NBC’s “Today Show” thought this decision “surprising.”
“Bill Clinton comes in at number five and makes the cover. There are a lot of other notable names here. Tell you what, though, there may be some talk about one leader who did not make the list, the leader of the free world, President Obama. Fortune tells us he was not overlooked, he just did not make the cut,” co-host Savannah Guthrie said.
“Yeah, that’s surprising,” Matt Lauer followed up.
Fortune explained their reasoning in a statement to NBC news:
President Obama wasn’t excluded from Fortune’s World’s 50 Greatest Leaders list. He simply didn’t make this year’s list of 50 outstanding individuals who have demonstrated rare leadership, leadership in multiple areas or who have demonstrated a long history of leading.
Other leaders on the Fortune list include Angelina Jolie, Bono, Malala Yousafzai and Pope Francis, who made the top spot.
