Strategic Leadership

PepsiCo.'s current President is Zein Abdalla, who assumed the roll in September 2012. I believe that PepsiCo. is a learning organization because the have many of the traits that characterize a business as such. PepsiCo. inspires employees by making saying that the company and all of it's people  "have a responsibility to help develop solutions to such key global challenges as obesity and malnutrition". This goal inspires employees and creates a common mission for them to connect over. PepsiCo.'s works to have leaders within the organization that motivate employees to work hard and engage in self-directed learning to better themselves and the company. They also work to give employees on all levels responsibility because they believe that it is essential for employee morale and performance. PepsiCo. does not seem to share all knowledge between divisions but trains employees with "cross-divisional, functional competency" to give them some information about other areas of the business.  PepsiCo. is facing major changes in the food and beverage industry and their leaders are focusing on creative and innovative approaches to develop new products that fit into this changing market by empowering and motivating employees work towards these goals.
