depends on how they are calculated. some make you laugh.

can be inspirational and aspirational.

can also show who perhaps to "investigate" - their "secret", philosophy, story, etc

The acquisition and management of wealth is technology, the use of wealth is science. As long as for more people, longer service to humanity, are worthy of respect. Money gathering and giving need balance and stability. Money is not about more or less.

Thank you for taking the time to read, understand and respond to the topic at hand. Also, thank you for blessing us with new perspective and language. To the best of your knowledge or perception, do you believe the "leadership league tables" cited above do make us appreciate the "science and technology? of leadership as per your parlance?

Thank you Brian Barnard for reading the question and your response. Which of the above cited "league tables" do you consider aspirational and which ones "give you lighthearted relief," in other words, make you laugh. Please feel free to share any other that are not on the list above that fall into either categories.

The laws of the universe are: stability, the strength of the electron field cycle. From weak to strong is the process of accumulating wealth and developing economy. Strong to weak is the process of distributing and dividing property equally. You need a balance.

At present, the world is the stage of economic development, mining energy, by hook or by crook. Science serves the economy. But religion, society needs wealth to be spread out evenly. There needs to be a balance between the two.

These need scientific leadership. They need leadership.

The change in the environment satisfies the stationary exponential distribution, and what is important is that we are now in the accelerated phase, and we are in the phase of rapid change. In the near future, the temperature difference will increase rapidly. But scientists have yet to sense that dire results are imminent. My publicity is limited and I need a platform urgently.

The 5,000-year human history is cyclical: economic development (stage of convergence), Renaissance (development of science and technology), war and destruction (dispersion of wealth), cyclical...

European Renaissance, industrial revolution (using circular function), current economy, AI (using judgment function), future demand (prolonging life), longevity as the goal. As the population shrinks, robots take over.

We are in the stage of accumulating wealth, and if we don't break it up, the world will end. Science needs to serve the spread of wealth!!

Gases, liquids, and solids are forms of energy aggregation of electrons. The liquefaction and gasification of solids is the energy dispersion phase, and the melting of polar ice is the most dangerous signal. The problem is that it's already accelerating. Warming is a small thing, and extreme annual temperature variation is key. Coming soon!!

We scientists should get started. The disaster cycle is 6.28 years, maybe everyone in the world is sleeping, but I am awake!!!

Thank you for the background information. This helps us, me in particular, understand where you are coming from. I would still appreciate an answer from you on the specific question posed, if at all possible.

ANY advise or instruction from people who have evidence of success is a worthwhile undertaking. HOWEVER, all businesses go through cycles as well, and the leader of yesterday is not always the best one for tomorrow. LISTEN to stories, advice and methodology. BUT don't take ANY of the as a specific or even necessary pathway to your own success, personally or in business! A GREAT AMOUNT of such information is already out there, in the form of books and previous studies by "think tanks" or research institutions. And, don't spend TOO much of your time trying to learn a fail-safe process - they don't exist. Instead, learn what you can a piece at a time, and put it into PRACTICE. EXPERIENCE is still the best teacher, although sometimes painful.

NOTE: If you are just talking about "lists" of people, they are pretty much worthless. Unless they have something to "give back" to the society it is just a vanity post.

Great words of wisdom.
