K. Selvakumar, Dr. S. Jayakani

Abstract: Leadership plays a critical role in shaping economic resilience and strategic direction, particularly in emerging economies such as India, which operate at the intersection of complex domestic realities and rapidly evolving global dynamics. This study examines the impact of leadership roles in navigating India?s economic landscape, with specific emphasis on policy leadership, institutional governance, and organizational leadership across public and private sectors. The paper analyses how leadership decisions influence productivity, employment generation, structural reforms, and innovation while responding to global forces such as globalization, trade integration, geopolitical realignments, and technological transformation. Drawing on existing economic and leadership literature, the study highlights how adaptive, ethical, and visionary leadership contributes to balancing domestic developmental priorities with external competitive pressures. The findings suggest that effective leadership acts as a catalyst in aligning economic reforms with inclusive growth objectives and strengthening India?s capacity to absorb global economic shocks. The study contributes to the discourse on leadership-driven economic governance and offers insights relevant to policymakers, business leaders, and institutional stakeholders engaged in sustaining India?s long-term economic growth.
