MasteryDr Srikumar Rao’s philosophy flies in the face of manyconventional views of leadership and what it takes tobecome a great leader. Yet more and more graduates fromsome of the world’s finest business schools are starting toask themselves if he isn’t right after all. The Bulletin spokewith Dr Rao on his recent visit to Hong Kong.Srikumar Rao 博士的理論與很多關於領導力和如何成為傑出領袖的傳統思想背道而馳。然而 , 愈來愈多全球頂尖商學院的畢業生開始懷疑 ,Rao 博士這一套才是正確的觀念。Bulletin: Your programme and book, Creativity and PersonalMastery, claim to change a person’s life profoundly. Isn’t that abit of a bold claim?Dr Srikumar Rao: The first time that I made that claim, whichwas in my syllabus, there was a lot of scepticism. However, Istand by that and more importantly, people who have takenthe course also stand by that. If you take my programme, ifyou do the exercises conscientiously – that is the key – it willprofoundly change your life for the better.B: Where did you get the idea?R: It is not something that I dreamed up. I have been readingvery extensively from the great wisdom traditions of the world.There were many people with immense spiritual stature wholived at different times and they completely understood the humanpredicament. They came up with very powerful conceptsand solutions that have been tried and tested over millennia.I have taken these very powerful concepts and exercises, andadapted them so that they are acceptable to intelligent peoplein an industrialized society.As Newton said: ‘if I can see further than anyone else, it isonly because I am standing on the shoulders of giants.’ I amstanding on the shoulders of some very powerful giants. Sowhen I say that my programme will change your life, it reallywill. But it isn’t my material. It is the sources from which I borrowedit that are so immensely powerful.B: Some people refer to these ideas as Raoism. How do you feelabout such a label?R: I really don’t like that. That is something that was coined bya reporter for the New York Times. I don’t like Raoism, becauseas I mentioned before, this isn’t my idea; I borrowed it fromothers. I just adapted these ideas and put them in a format thatare acceptable to business executives.B: You say we all want to live happy, productive lives, whichsounds simple, so what stops most of us from doing just that?R: Because we have different notions about what happiness isall about and how you achieve it. One of the biggest constraintsthat most of us face is we have in our heads a model that whena certain thing happens – a promotion, a bigger house, a newcar – then we will be happy.
