This guy is definitely a leader — but 11th on the list?! Really?! Fortune magazine ranked “The World’s 50 Greatest Leaders,” and a certain popular athlete made number 11 on that list (and he’s the only athlete on the list). Check out who it is & let us know what you think…

Fortune magazine has ranked “The World’s 50 Greatest Leaders,” and among a group of CEOs, politicians, the Pope (No. 1) and the Dalai Lama (No. 9) sits Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter — at No. 11.
Here’s what Fortune had to say about The Captain:
As he begins his 20th and final season in pinstripes, Jeter remains the type of role-model player that even a Red Sox fan must grudgingly respect. It’s not the five World Series rings he’s won or his team record for career hits. In a steroid-tainted, reality-TV era, Jeter, the son of two Army veterans, continues to stand out because of his old-school approach: Never offer excuses or give less than maximum effort.
