This research looks at eight different facts of leadership (ranging from strategic planning to operational execution).  It clearly shows that emerging market leaders (India, China in particular) have a very strong focus and skillset on operational execution. These individuals focus heavily on hands-on management, operational process, and a focus on managing individual performance.

We believe this is caused by both cultural and economic issues. In a fast-growing country, businesses succeed by getting to market quickly and effectively. While they need clearly defined market strategies, their success and failure is often driven by their ability to hire, train, and manage individuals quickly. Their organizations are less interested in long-term vision or sustainability initiatives. And change management often takes place through clear top-down direction.
