The 3 most important facts brought out are extremely valid: * Effective and engaged top leadership * Align workforce strategies with Business priorities. * Treat employees similar to customers. Essentially work of a leader is to create more leaders. Unfortunately, we mostly promote good managerialism and thus leadership suffers. Wonder is this is a colonial hangover to be good followers. Also organisations are often misaligned to cultural ethos as described in Quality or Innovation. Priorities have to be consciously and deliberately nurtured. Short-term pressures also outweigh long-term benefits. WE NEED LEADERS. Remarkably, in India engaged workforce is 37% which is good. No wonder, Indians perform well globally.
