Dear Member,

Leadership Development is now critical to the long term success of a company. As Indian companies gain size by pursuing growth opportunities both in India and abroad, one big concern of CEOs is “where will the leaders come from to drive and manage this growth?”.

While the topic attracts a lot of attention, we seldom see real scientific rigor and analysis on this. What are the best sources of leadership talent? What difference to a company’s performance does having a good leadership pipeline make? What are the best companies doing in this important area?

That will be the focus of our July Meeting.
