• India is very tipical country, any one can be leader, any one can lead the mobe, only thing, the leader has to win the heart either on humanity, or on sympathy. Leaders are many in India but requires money power to impress the grass root level people, the mobe, the group, group of same interest, www.nkgktg.wordpress.com, Thanks for visit to my profile, U may visit to, https://sites.google.com/site/saibabamemorial/home/happy-greetings-of-the-day Posted by Krishnakant Gandhi, Desire to work Director, MD, CEO,Consultant at Retired | 28 Oct, 2012

• IN my opinion not only India inc even India is facing leadership crisis, we are living in past and aiming at great future but no body can explain the present position. The paradox prevailing in our society has no explanation. The worst part is there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Be it education, management or HDI. Posted by Parmod Sachdeva.

• Surely India inc is facing a leadership crises , even if the professionals are groomed inside to take up the managerial role , India Inc is not been able to groom-up professionals to take up the mantle of a good leader , unlike Motorolla & P&G which never faced leadership crises at the top.

• Due to our psychological set up we Indian mostly remain duty oriented than right oriented.This lead to creation of more followers than leaders.

• Any country or a company or a sports team which has larger than life leaders tend to think who will be next after the departure of the iconic leaders. Didn't we not think the same way "After Nehru who?". But we got a top and perhaps most powerful leader in modern India. No wonder the times are changing and it will inevitably throw up new role models or new leaders. In the course of time if these companies may have had meticulously planned the succession well in advance-as a top company is expected- they will get the new set of leaders soon otherwise these companies may not last long, if they have to and at bet remain mediocre company for a long time till they throw up a charismatic leader who has the gut to take forward the ...See More company.

• India has a rich pool of talent. Only issue is that most of the business houses in India want to retain the top leadership positions within the family and that is the reason that this rich pool of talent which is available outside the family is not being tapped and provided an opportunity to lead.

• India is on growing path in Industrial Sector, we do not get affected by overseas recession & growth is on our own. The credit must be passed on to the major Indutrialist, since they are the main contributors to this growth. National leadership at government level is frankly not available, some how they are running the government. The only state is Gujrat where the leader is effective & the leaders in rest of the part of India is for name sake. They do not have vision & they are expert in retaining majority for which they can go to any level. My suggestion is if all the major Industrialist unite together & take lead then India can be No.1 in the world. Infrastructure is lacking & the existing leaders play a role " How it should ...See More not improve". This is for their vote bank & people of India are also neglect this aspect.

• Change is the most important feature of a living thing .the old ones get depleted to give way to the new ones and everyone has to respect that.There has to be something to look for and that has always been a change ,becoz whenever the demandcomes at large the supply has to respond and only when there comes a prime need ,,,a leader comes out from the crowd to let others follow him .The dearth or hole will get filled soon by the optimistics and self believers becoz only they are the real achievers.ambanis can be in large numbers but people like n.murthy comes after hundred years..jai mata di lets rock....

• Leadership can be defined as one's ability to get others to willingly follow. Every organization needs leaders at every level. Leaders can be found and nurtured if you look for the following character traits.
  
  A leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it. But it’s not enough to have a vision; leaders must also share it and act upon it. Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric Co., said, "Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly drive it to completion."
  ...See More
  A leader must be able to communicate his or her vision in terms that cause followers to buy into it. He or she must communicate clearly and passionately, as passion is contagious.
  
  A good leader must have the discipline to work toward his or her vision single-mindedly, as well as to direct his or her actions and those of the team toward the goal. Action is the mark of a leader. A leader does not suffer “analysis paralysis” but is always doing something in pursuit of the vision, inspiring others to do the same. Posted by Subal Mahato, Asst. Manager at Automat Industries Pvt. Ltd. | 14 Sep, 2011

• I don't think their is a dearth of leaders in this country but yes there is a problem in the process of grooming leaders from within. Reasons could be multiple - ability of the current leader to groom successor, internal politics as everybody wants to be a leader whether he/she has the leadership skills or not, etc. Also in our country a 'Manager' tag is given more 'respect' so everybody tries to acquire it.

• Top leaders are selected from the lot who got elevated to that slot from the lower levels. It takes years for the lower cadres to reach to that level. It is the resultant of likes and dislikes that evaluated a person for many years in an organisation that suddenly expose him or her as suitable for selection as a top leader. But then what would happen when the grooming process in itself has gone faulty over the years. You are likely to have a lot with more or less the same characteristics to select from. Such a situation has arisen because quick success and profitability on short term basis was given more importance than organisational culture and employee satisfaction. More over the process of evaluating an organisation has been ...See More left to pseudo consultants who are too happy to please those in command at the cost of their professional ethics and common sense!

We have great pool of leadership talents and dynamic professionals in their own field.What is more important to note that leadership skills are undermined in our present polluted environment of Governmental and political system. Leadership skills cannot be measured in polluted political system in the country.Debate should be not on the iconic industry leaders but it should be on how to purify this country from corrupt politicians and bureaucrats and for this if we get solutions we need not worry for successor to iconic industry leaders.

• One thing is certain, these companies are successful because of certain DNA developed by their founders and leaders. The DNA drives the company. I have personal working experience of big companies like L&T, TATA. The companies ethos and relationships especially with senior colleagues are important as the latter are actually the prime movers of various depts in a company. The Head and various limbs are well linked so that limbs follow every thought created by the Head.
  
  Yes, it is true that industry has got caught with rapid growth in businesses in India, they have gone for globalization and, are facing global competition at home so also manpower skills shortage, constantly firefighting due to ripple effects ...See More of adverse global events frequently taking place. These have kept the CEOs busy. These did not allow them to develop the second line of command.
  
  But, now all corporates have realised, and the war for top level skills is on. Larger the organisations, the larger is the sensitivity and fall back effect of the incorrect selection! This means our top management have to learn the art of selecting the right person- to meet eventualities of highly uncertain / volatile future! This is a new area for our top managers, and i am sure like everything else, Indian top managers WILL QUICKLY LEARN and meet the needs of their businesses.

• Ratan Tata's image got significantly tarnished after the Radia disclosures, though for the Tata house he possibly continues to be a model head. Both Tata and Narayana Murthy have chosen their successors from among outsiders rather than insiders, which does not speak of their own skills in grooming up their successors in-house, which in my opinion diminishes their leadership skills significantly.
