My interview with the exceptional Dr Raghunathan V.
Whether to call him a maverick or an outlier? This versatile former academic fits no stereotype. After several books of varying hues he has for us a delightful autobiographical to relish. It reveals what makes him what he is.
Raghu commenced authorship with hard core finance, steering towards management, behavioural, semi fiction, fiction. Now lays bare a fascinating assortment (and more) from working life.
Since management education is where he spent much of his professional life – having taught some of the smartest minds – I provoke him to share the good, bad and ugly. The responses are trademark crisp and candid.
Am sure you will not resist the temptation of indulging in The Lion, The Admiral and A Cat Called B. Uma Vijaylakshmi.
Raghu laments “The absence of genuine commitment to sustainability and ESG.” Could management education fix it?
Recently Mark Trexler (please see comments) told me why all students at Arizona State University, beginning this fall, must take a class on sustainability – “is a great initiative, although seems radically insufficient and decades too late in coming!’’
Where does one seek the secret sauce? Remember, the ‘philoseralogist’ (one who collects locks for a hobby) in Raghu has the keys to some very ancient and complicated padlocks in his possession.
