Anne, is excellent Leader .Today's dynamic markets and technologies have called into question the sustainability of competitive advantage. Under pressure to improve productivity, quality, and speed, managers have embraced tools such as TQM, benchmarking, and reengineering. Dramatic operational improvements have resulted, but rarely have these gains translated into sustainable profitability. And gradually, the tools have taken the place of strategy. As managers push to improve on all fronts, they move further away from viable competitive positions. Michael Porter argues that operational effectiveness, although necessary to superior performance, is not sufficient, because its techniques are easy to imitate. In contrast, the essence of strategy is choosing a unique and valuable position rooted in systems of activities that are much more difficult to match.

Before you send your letter below, PLEASE allow me to edit it. You have made many grammatical and spelling errors that will only hurt your bid to retrieve the benefits you were promised. Good Luck!

Dear President elect Obama and Vice President elect Biden,
We voted and campaigned for you and congratulate you both. We are confident you have America’s middle class at heart. Your polices will determine our future voting, however we fear you have made a mistake selecting Anne Mulcahy, CEO of Xerox, to your economic team.
My wife and I along with 30,000 other middle class employees retired from Xerox with over 30 years of dedicated service were promised retirement benefits when we retired. Ann Mulcahy CEO of Xerox has completely eliminated funding for promised health care benefits for all 30,000 retired employees and 50,000 future retirees.
Anne Mulcahy enjoyed a 22% increase in salary for performance as CEO in 2008. Xerox has repurchased 4.5 billion dollars of their stock, paid down debt, annual revenue growth was 8.4% and net income is 6.2%. This action to eliminate promised health care benefits of elderly retired 30 year plus employees who can least afford and plan for is purely corporate greed and unjustified.
Letters to Anne Mulcahy asking her to reverse this change in promised benefits have received no replies. Please convey the hardship Ann Mulcahy has inflicted on Xerox retirees and request she permanently reverse her decision eliminating funding for Xerox retirees promised health benefits they worked their entire lives for. I sending this request to every one on your committee and others who may come in contact with Anne Mulcahy, including government representatives, public media, present and retired Xerox employees.
Your view in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
