The India Top Companies for Leaders Announced

Strong leadership is more than a competitive advantage. It separates world-class companies from the rest. Today, the need for effective leadership is unprecedented and the rapid pace of economic and business change is requiring new ways of thinking and behaving to achieve success.

India is today at the cusp of becoming a global economic powerhouse. Over the last decade organizations operating in India have achieved high levels of growth. However, as the economy matures and new challenges emerge, many corporates are finding that sustaining success will mean reorienting themselves.

These business challenges are strongly related to the top talent challenges of companies - 'insufficient number of ready-now leaders' and 'lack of diverse talent in leadership positions'. The TCFL 2014 India study reveals that many corporates are using a variety of strategies, practices, and tools to be future ready.
