The Teachings of Dr. Rao

"There's no destination," Dr. Srikumar Rao tells his B-school students. "The journey is all that there is, and it can be very, very joyful"
Dr. Srikumar Rao is a great guy and a wonderful teacher. His Creativity & Personal Mastery class is one of the most popular in both the Columbia and London business schools. It's so meaningful it even has its own alumni association. Srikumar actually has students deal with the existential realities of their careers—questions like "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" and "Where am I going?" He's training future leaders to be humans—not just technicians.
