IMO ... if multi-billionaire owners can trust you to lead their companies to growth in today's tough environment, then you must be damn good at leading a business as a whole. Sure, a CEO is an employee, but he/she is with no doubt the most important one, and a bad CEO can set you back by years (if you're lucky; otherwise, you're gone).
The Indians at the top of the corporate ladder did everything right. Be it coming from the best universities at India, and then fine-tuning their skills at the best universities in the West, and then changing their attitudes, thought, and other old habits in order to match the gora step-for-step and take lead, it's all worth learning.
It's on our own leaders (in education, government, communities, etc) for not doing anywhere near as much work in improving the quality of our education, building corporate networks for young or fresh grads, and other critical steps. Good on the Indians; question is, when will we Pakistanis catch up?
