Abstract


The brand ‘Mahatma Gandhi’ is one of the greatest brands in history. It has been enlightening and moving people for centuries. The Indian economy predicted to grow by 7.5 percent this year, experts say it could be time for Western CEOs to learn some lessons from their Indian counterparts. Given their intense focus on culture and human capital, it may be surprising that the Indian leaders have put strategy as their top priority . Leadership is as much about creating an enabling environment and engaging with employees on a personal level as it is about driving success and productivity. The cultural traditions, comprising beliefs, values, attitudes and social practices strongly influence the behavior of leaders in modern business organizations thus, leading to diversity in leadership styles around the world. The culture specific expectations play a significant role in shaping the context of organizations leadership in India.
