America's 25 most admired CEOs have earned the respect of their people. Here's how you can too.
Glassdoor recently released a listing of the highest ranked US CEOs based on employee feedback. And while every CEO in this group has their warts, this prestigious group has managed to be human while still winning the hearts of their employees.
Here is a representative sampling of Glassdoor employee feedback on why these CEOs -- and the cultures they've created -- top the most admired list.
Which of their qualities can you incorporate into your leadership style?

Scott takes care of his employees -- and their families -- so they in turn feel proud and empowered to take care of their customers.
Dominic provides flexibility in the way his employees work, so long as they take ownership for the results.

Marc has his employees spend 1% of their time giving back to their communities and charities of choice.
