Infy's lessons of leadership - how others can benefit

Read this article about how Infosys leads the way in Leadership

Interesting how Infy found that increasingly people were less trained than the roles that they were in. It found that it will need a pool of leaders in the coming future and started investing in training.

Good lesson for corporates, especially in India IT industry. Its not just about improving the motivation of the employees, its also about how you employ the right person for the right job.

Though, I do not believe in the way it can be extended for every other company. First, no one can maintain such a talent pool, other than the biggies like TCS, Wipro. Sometimes its better (and cheaper/faster) to hire from the market.

For the smaller players, its difficult to follow the talent risk strategy, as sometimes you just can not maintain a healthy balance between demand and supply.
