“It forces corporate leaders to define their personal values and goals.”

I have had the rare privilege of speaking on "Business Ethics and the Infosys experience" at Prof. Rao's course on "Creativity and Personal Mastery" at Columbia Business School, on March 15, 2004. My experience at Columbia was unique in several ways. First, I was stunned by the credibility of Prof. Rao in the minds of his students. I was struck by his scholarship, the lucidity and simplicity of his message, the power of his articulation, and of course his walking the talk, when it came to the values he propounded in his class. Second, I was highly impressed by the sincerity and depth of interaction I had with his students, on the ethical issues that we confront in the corporate environment. Professor Rao's course is not just an ethics course; it is a forum for self-exploration. It forces corporate leaders to define their personal values and goals.
