China and India have much in common. They both have populations in excess of one billion, and they both will experience high economic growth as they shift from being primarily export markets to servicing the untapped potential of their own local economies, due in part to a rapidly rising middle class.

In this research brief we share data from DDI’s new 2011 Global Leadership Forecast comparing China and India. The forecast is our largest ever, spanning some 2,600 companies in 74 different countries. The focus of the research is on organizational trends and best practices around building leadership bench strength.
