I dont know, where you got the above stated statistics, Indian Economy is very strong and only sustainable economy in the face of International Upheaval
If you mean US and other European countries as more leadership oriented, then you are wrong for they never could come up with long term Strategic growth plans and always copied strategies from Asian Countries to be more specific from Japan and India and some what from Russia
And that is the reason so many problems in their economy and thats the reason, Dollar is very soon going to be out run by EURO in International Business

Dear Octavious
I had read ur comments a long time back, and was not in agreement. The basic problem in India is that we have more followers than leaders. It may have something to do with the centuries of domination by foreign rulers, one can't say - but definitely it surprises why Israel, being a smaller country, leads in so many ways as against a huge country as ours...and isnt the Olympics a fine example?
The article below will further enhance understanding and discussion on the subject.

Do you wish to be a leader?
PARAMAHAMSA SRI NITHYANANDA
WE ARE built upon our identities. We are lost without them. As long as we feel we’re a separate entity, a unique individual, we’ll hold on to that distinction. We’re all, each one of us, a part of the Collective Consciousness that unifies the entire universe. Holding on to the individual identity simply compounds our problems. When we cling to the idea of being separate, we bring many problems.
At the physical level, if we think we’re separate from nature or universe, we’ll be inviting diseases. In our mind, at the mental level, if we think that we’re unconnected then we’re sowing the seeds of violence. We turn selfish, dogmatic, and violent. We become terrorists.
We can unite only when we work within the spirit of Collective Consciousness. When we work from the level of individual consciousness, we begin to dissect. We examine these bits and pieces. Logic always breaks. Intuition always unites. At the level of spirit, or the spiritual level, the Collective Consciousness operates to unite. If we think we each are individuals, there is no possibility of any spiritual growth. Spiritually, we can’t even take the first baby steps.
Let us look at ourselves this way. At the physical level, we’re not individuals. Our body and nature are much closer than we think possible. For instance, the sun and our body are deeply interconnected. A small change in the sun triggers changes in our body. Logically, we might not be able to relate to it. This is true.
We’re connected by thoughts, our mind. A thought from somebody’s mind comes and touches us. Similarly, a thought created in someone’s mind travels to touch another mind. A thought, sowed by someone else, can touch us. The thoughts have power to affect us. Thoughts are like ripples on the waters of a lake.
If our ripples are strong, like a wave, we create a strong wave. We’ll create an impression with our thoughts. We’ll be leading and inspiring others by our thoughts. If our thoughts aren’t from our depth, other thought waves will impress upon us.
We can be a leader or a follower. There is nothing in between. We always think, ‘I’ll not be a leader. I can’t do that much. I’ll not be a follower either. I’ll maintain my own stand.’ This is impractical. Lead or follow. You cannot stay in between. But, why would you want to be a follower when you can just easily be a leader?
Be a leader. Think of yourself as the leader. Influence others with your thoughts. People will follow. It is that simple.
