This man has been named as the best boss in the world

Evan BartlettNov 03, 2014 Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has been named the best boss in the world from the point-of-view of investors. According to the Harvard Business Review (HBR), Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post newspaper, is the best business leader when it comes to producing "solid results over the long run". Here's the top 10:

1 Jeff Bezos Amazon

2 John Martin Gilead Sciences

3 John Chambers Cisco Systems

4 David Pyott Allergan

5 David Simon Simon Property Group

6 Lars Rebien Sørensen Novo Nordisk

7 Hugh Grant Monsanto

8 J Michael Pearson Valeant Pharmaceuticals

9 Mark Donegan Precision Castparts

10 William Doyle PotashCorp
