, CHAPTER 1 Strategic Management: Creating Competitive Advantages
1) Lands' End's failure under the leadership of Ms. Frederica Marchionni was said to be a
direct result of the quality of her leadership. According to the text, this would be an
example of the "romantic" perspective of leadership.
ANSWER: TRUE
Explanation: In the romantic view of leadership, the implicit assumption is that the leader
is the key force in determining an organization's success or lack thereof. Under Ms.
Marchionni's leadership, the company reported a 19.5-million-dollar loss for 2016 after
having reported a 73.8-million-dollar profit for the previous year under its previous CEO.
