If you research the Top Ten of anything you will be inundated with lists and those who research them. We are a world fascinated with whose on top, who made the grade and the next best Top Ten. We constantly search out the lists and check them frequently.
Why is that? I researched who the Top Ten companies that were on the Forbes’ List and came up with a company that only my Asian colleagues might be familiar with: Hindustan Unilever.
Hindustan Unilever is one of the largest consumer products companies that are listed by Reuters as India’s fastest growing company. You can see the list of products by Hindustan Unilever here.
Some of them might surprise you. I have to admit until this morning I wasn’t familiar with Hindustan Unilever but I do regularly use Dove soap. Imagine that.
There is a fascination with the Top Ten lists of anything because we search out those who we believe to be the best of the best. Sometimes they are the worst of the worst Top Ten.
Charity Navigator is a non-profit organization that rates the best and worst of not-for-profits and I regularly check up on my charitable giving through their site. You can visit them here.
If you are curious as to who made the Top Ten Power Women list from Forbes this year, you can see them here. I will never make that list.
I told a friend this morning that I don’t own anything with an “i” in it – there are no iPhones, iPods, iPads or anything that centers on “i” in my home. Why is that?
I guess because it never made my Top Ten list.
