Compare and contrast the strategic leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg (who stepped down as Meta’s COO in 2022, while remaining on the board of directors). Which qualities of each strategic leader stand out to you, and why? Where would you place each individual on the Level-5 pyramid for strategic leaders (see Exhibit 2.2), and why? Is either of them an effective strategic leader? Explain your answers.
Is the following statement correct?
The quote "culture eats strategy for breakfast" means that no matter how strong your strategic plan is, its efficacy will be held back by members of your team if they do not share the common culture. When it comes down to it, the people implementing the plan are the ones that make all the difference. If your employees are not passionate about your company's vision, they will not be enthusiastic about executing the plan, and then your strategy stands no chance. Company culture happens, whether you work on it or not. It represents the core of the company.
