40. Context in which the Indian leader operates

41. Hats Next-Generation Indian Leaders Need to Wear

42. Hats Next-Generation Indian Leaders Need to Wear

43. Leadership promotes and outlines the company's strategies, their
implementation and success, by inspiring its followers to perform a
task beyond anticipated firms' goals
Similarly, poor style of leadership, frame employee's devotion
either to leave the 'job' or might even involve in 'counterproductive
work behaviors' (CWBS)
Employee inadequate performance due to weak guidance by the
leader conveys negative implications on the capability of
leadership, which stimulate and hold employees for terrible
organizational performance (Broersma, 2004)
Introduction

44. Decision-making style varies across cultures, as such the impacts and
magnitude may vary. Future research may try to explore the following
questions empirically:
 Does decision-making style impacts the influence of knowledge
management on organizational success (i.e., financial, market,
corporate, innovative and entrepreneurial performance)? To what
extent does decision-making style impacts this relationship?
 Does knowledge enablers facilitate knowledge creation better? And
under which condition does knowledge creation deliver best
performance?
 Which decision-making style better performs? With what enablers
does it deliver optimum result?
 Does team unit, managerial decision-making interacts with
employees T-shaped skills?
Introduction

45. Individuals with T-shaped skills are needed, those with T-shaped
skills have adequate knowledge of discipline and know how to
cooperate with others to function as a team (Hamdi, Silong,
Omar, & Rasdi, 2016). In other words, they can expand their
ability across several areas, and develop systemic thinking skills
(Lee & Choi, 2003), by combining both theoretical and practical
knowledge (Madhavan & Grover, 1998).
