  Indiian Emotional Intelligence

  Antoine de Saint-Exupery says (in "The Little Prince") ?It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.?
  A subtle advantage that I think many Indians have is a more highly developed emotional intelligence - derived, perhaps, from the Hindu tradition that intelligence is the gift of the mother goddess. This tradition links to EI qualities such as empathy, patience, compassion, and nurturing. Vital qualities to compete in a global economy and very undervalued in much of our Western world

  RE: Why Indian CEOs Are in Great Demand

  India is perhaps the only country in the world that is truly multi-cultural. Since childhood an urban educated Indian, is exposed to a wide variety of people; people who speak different languages; as many as 30, different religions; all major religions exist in India & even racially different people. Cultural sensitivity is something an Indian grows up with.Its a soft skill which is extremely important in a globalized world and one which is difficult to inculcate in people who have roots in mono-cultural, ethno-centric societies. An Indian's emotional intelligence has perhaps its roots in his upbringing.

  Indians

  But other emerging nations also have multiple cultures. Brazil is quite diverse racially and culturally. The Chinese speak dozens of different languages and dialects. Russia has a huge presence of minorities from the Central Asian republics, among other sources.
  So there must be more to the success of Indians than just culture. Your thoughts? Bill Holstein

  Indeed India !

  Indians have nothing to lose and everything to gain. No GE's or the Cokes or GMs to piggy ride.When you fear of losing an earlier positon or a status, you do unwanted things.Indians are shedding their inferiority complex (third world country blokes but First class Managers)and attitude to prove something -power not experienced before.
  Abundant talent and rightly mentioned in the some of the comments-very social and accomodative does make a lot of difference when the world is becoming less tolerant and more aggresive. It is indeed a refreshing experience
  The risk taking ability and a new found confidence in innovation and skills truly is an "Everest" achievement
