Joko Widodo Ranked at #37 in Fortune Magazine's 50 Greatest Leaders
Last week, global business magazine Fortune released the latest version of its world's 50 greatest leaders ranking. Fortune's annual ranking is based on a person's possession of rare leadership skills, admirability as well as having an influential role in society. The list was topped by Pope Francis who is considered to have attracted legions of non-Catholic admirers through the setting of a new direction. There was also one Indonesian leader included in the list. Governor of Jakarta Joko Widodo (popularly known as Jokowi) was ranked at number 37.
According to Fortune magazine: "In 2005, the self-made furniture exporter [Jokowi] was elected mayor of Solo, a 500,000-person city in Indonesia. He cleaned up the city and rooted out corruption, thrilling an Indonesian public weary of the status quo. His ascent since then has been swift: In 2012, Jokowi became Governor of Jakarta. Currently, he is the favorite for Indonesia's July 2014 presidential election."
