Is Indra Nooyi an Effective leader or not? An analysis

Coming from India and being a women, most critics striked out Indra early when she took over PepsiCo's realm. She has proved all of them wrong.
Indra Nooyi is essentially one of the most effective leader in the business community of our time. She lead the group when it was being bombarded with negative criticism from many parties and forced the company to relook at its core operations, its product range and its responsibility as a food supplier.
She is a leader who has overcome female and racial stereotyping. She has shown that females do not need to be a home maker and a follower to a man. She has a family life,is a mother, a wife and a business woman to be dealt with.
Her leadership style is swift and decisive but not autocratic. She believes in equality of all races and we can see it from the multi racial leadership in PepsiCo and also the staff. Pepsi is respected in all countries and is growing exponentially.
She is respected around the world is routinely invited to give talks on business, leadership and on women in business.
Her best moment would probably be her ability to stand head to head with the other beverage giant COKE (Coca Cola). Pepsi is now a brand to be reckoned with and is not longer being shadowed by Coke but a serious competitor.
