As discussed in this module, there are several actions that characterize effective strategic leadership. In this exercise, you will use these actions to evaluate two top-level managers who are widely known and who have served as the CEO and/or chairman of his firm for a long period of time. The length of time these individuals have served their firms allows you to find a wealth of information about their actions as strategic leaders as well as the results of those actions. You can consult each firm's Web site as well as search engines to find the information and materials you I will need to complete this exercise. In the chart below, provide an example of each strategic leadership action for each of the two individuals. (Note: You are not being asked to provide an example of the "exploiting and maintaining core competencies" action. The reason for this is that this action is internal to the firm, meaning that it would be difficult for you to find an example of this action to include in the chart.) Each example you provide in terms of the five strategic actions included in the chart should be an important indicator of the action it represents. Do not forget to include your references.
