Abstract
This paper describes the leadership challenges in Information Technology projects outsourced from Japan to India. During execution of such projects, project team members have to deliver under pressure with tight deadlines. At the same time, they face the multiple cultural gaps which hinder the collaboration between the two teams. We report here some observations on real life project stories and conclude with suggestions for developing effective leaders for project management between Japan and India.
