It seems like just last month that we were lauding Theo Epstein as the world’s greatest leader. Oh, wait, that was last month. It stands to reason, then, that the Cubs’ baseball boss was a shoo-in for TIME’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. And good golly, that’s a mixed bag of different personalities.

Where the Fortune list skewed heavily toward pop culture and shiny object-ness, this TIME group is significantly more literal in its interpretation. The list isn’t ordered, but is divided into groups of Pioneers, Leaders, Artists, Titans, and Icons.
