Dame Anita Roddick, founder of Littlehampton-based Body Shop, has been voted into third place in a top ten list of British business leaders.
Dame Anita, 61, who lives in Slindon, near Arundel, finished behind Tesco boss Sir Terry Leahy and Virgin chief Sir Richard Branson, who topped the list.
More than 1,000 senior managers were interviewed for the survey which has been compiled for a two-day inaugural international leadership summit at Earls Court, London, in October.
The survey found most businesses believed leadership qualities could be taught and the ability to inspire was the key to greatness.
