Q1. Nooyi is a strong leader and I would award her a high grade as a strategic leader. This is because she is able to accurately identify the future direction and demand trends of her industry (the fast moving consumer food and beverages sector), and is able to move PepsiCo in a direction that capitalizes on those trends. For example, Nooyi was able to identify that consumers and employees alike are more interested in sustainability and would not support or work for a corporation that is not responsible for its social and environmental impact. As a result, she implemented the "Performance with Purpose" strategy in 2006, and sought to ensure that PepsiCo was attentive to human sustainability, environmental sustainability and employee welfare at work. This was a vision that has paid off in the decade since its implementation, with PepsiCo consistently outperforming its main corporate rival, Coca Cola. Likewise, she was able to identify an increasing demand for healthier products as a growing trend, given the rising middle class in several emerging markets. This led her to direct teams to launch healthier product lines for traditionally unhealthy snacks such as potato chips and soft drinks, which have received popular acclaim.</span></p> <p><span class="s1"></span></p> <p><span class="s1">According to Jim Collins, Level 5 leadership requires the unique blend XX XXXXXXXX and will XX succeed, alongside effectiveness, XXXXXXXXXX, knowledge XXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX contributions.
