Theo Epstein is the World's Greatest Leader.
So said Fortune magazine, which published its annual list on Thursday morning.
The Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations finished in the top spot, ahead of Alibaba founder Jack Ma, Pope Francis at No. 3, Melinda Gates at No. 4 and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos rounding out the top five.
Epstein, who helped end the Boston Red Sox 86-year World Series title drought in 2004, saw his Cubs end its 108-year drought this past season.
