This article discusses various issues related to the executive ability and leadership qualities of Indian chief executive officers (CEOs). According to leadership consultancy Hay Group Inc., one factor contributing to the country's recent economic success is the unique set of traits, behaviors, and motives held by the country's business leaders. A recent study by the organization identified four areas in which Indian CEOs differ from top executives in other countries, and which help develop their companies and the Indian economy. Top Indian CEOs spend less time than their peers in other countries on issues like culture change, succession planning, and their own reputation. Instead, the majority of their time and thoughts center on new information, technology, and ideas to help their companies grow and innovate. Indian leaders often think about doing what's right for society. The best Indian CEOs show high levels of integrity and inner strength. Those traits come in handy during the stringent governmental reviews.
