In my experience working with developers from India, there are two ways:

1. You have no authority and they ignore you. 2. You have authority and they become yes-men.

Real dialogue: - Is it done? - Yes! But not yet.





The sweet spot is being authoritative without being overbearing. When leadership feels supportive rather than controlling, people engage honestly... and that balance comes from experience.
