Do lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual workers need positive role models to help them succeed at work? Britain's Financial Times newspaper and the networking group OUTstanding think so. They've compiled a list of the 100 top LGBT executives around the world. It's hoped they will be an inspiration to anyone who fears they can't be true to themselves at work.
