The country's most respected manager heads the Volkswagen Group.
That's how it was in July when the FAS last published the quarterly manager rankings of the media analysis company Unicepta - only the VW boss was still called Herbert Diess at the time.
In the meantime, Oliver Blume has replaced him both in Wolfsburg and at the top of the ranking.

Unicepta regularly evaluates thousands of reports in national and international media as well as posts on Twitter to determine which DAX managers are particularly visible to the public and are often quoted.
The fact that the Porsche boss Blume is now also to lead VW in a personal union was a major reason for his media presence in the past three months.
Then there was the IPO of Porsche AG.
Blume was a sought-after discussion partner on both topics, also outside of Germany, as was his colleague Hans Dieter Pötsch, CEO of the holding company Porsche SE.
Christian Sewing, CEO of Deutsche Bank, made it to second place in the rankings. Among other things, he attracted attention with his comments on an impending recession.
Martin Brudermüller, head of the chemical company BASF, ranks third, who spoke primarily about the gas supply.
The example in 5th place on the list shows that media attention is not necessarily synonymous with success.
Kasper Rorsted had to leave the sporting goods manufacturer Adidas in the summer.
His media presence was mainly due to the many articles that appeared on his departure.
