ZAKARIA: You think about leadership, what do you think about President Obama as a leader?

NOOYI: I think he's a remarkable individual, but let me put this in context, Fareed. Just imagine that you are the CEO of a company. Just bear with me for a while, while I talk you through the story. Imagine you are the CEO of a company and your executive team, half want you to succeed, half want you to fail.

ZAKARIA: Republicans and Democrats.

NOOYI: Yes. And then imagine that your functional team, you can't hire them without the approval of your executive team.

ZAKARIA: Half of whom want you to fail.

NOOYI: That's exactly right. Also imagine that every word you say is debated in the public media every minute of the day. Also remember that your board of directors is a fragmented group who really cannot get together to fire the executive team if they don't tow your line.

ZAKARIA: The American public.

NOOYI: That's exactly right. That's the environment in which the president of the United States is working today. It's not as if the president is maintaining a successful country. The president is turning around a difficult situation. So all things considered, you'd say he's doing a pretty good job.

ZAKARIA: When you look at the American economy right now, you have a very unusual perspective because PepsiCo and its products are sold all over the country, all over the world. What do you see? How is the American economy doing?

NOOYI: I must say, Fareed, since last year and the changes from last year to this year, pretty significant. If you asked me this question last year, I would have said the underbelly of the economy was very, very weak.
