Abstract
This paper develops a theoretically grounded framework of leadership competencies required to navigate India’s developmental trajectory toward 2047. Drawing upon dynamic capability theory, organizational resilience, and competency-based human resource management, the study identifies five interrelated competency clusters: adaptive intelligence, technological and digital fluency, ethical and inclusive decision-making, systems thinking, and resilience-oriented people leadership.
The framework advances existing literature by explicitly linking leadership competencies with national development priorities, including innovation capacity, demographic dividend utilization, sustainability, and global competitiveness. It offers a contextually embedded and future-oriented model relevant not only to India but also to other emerging economies undergoing structural transformation. Implications are discussed for management education, organizational leadership development, and public policy.
Keywords: Leadership competencies, Viksit Bharat 2047, resilient leadership, adaptive intelligence, digital leadership, systems thinking, inclusive leadership
