Among those on Fortune's list of The World's 50 Greatest Leaders are "The Gymnasts and Their Allies," referring to the survivors of ex-MSU and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar's sexual abuse.

"When the sentencing trial of Larry Nassar began, few people knew the former USA Gymnastics doctor’s name, much less the details of his crimes. Then, the young women he sexually assaulted
— more than 150 of them — told their stories," Fortune writes in its testimony to the gymnasts. "Their seven days of harrowing testimony shook the world of sports and beyond."

The list includes students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and other schools, Bill and Melinda Gates, Oprah Winfrey and the #MeToo movement, among others.

This year's list emphasized leaders who have navigated the challenges of "unbundling," which Fortune refers to as disaggregating enterprises of all kinds.
