The Teachings of Dr. Rao

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.

"Why am I here?" and "Where am I going?" He's training future leaders to be humans—not just technicians.
