Today we went to an Indian Business Institute to meet with a group of MBA students and faculty. This was yet another authentic slice of contemporary Indian life. We have experienced so many different aspects of daily Indian life that few tourists get to experience. This experience was very gratifying because the students and teachers were very westernized and extremely interested in meeting with us and learning about us. Bob and Judith and some of our students who are highly accomplished business leaders taught classes of 50-60 students and faculty. After the classes, we all had lunch with the faculty and some of the students. We all had a terrific time talking in small clusters with the faculty, making friends, exchanging contact information and finding new colleagues to correspond with and share ideas.

One of the highlights was a small group meeting with the Chancellor of the university to discuss business ethics, and how to weave traditional Hindu values and principles into business and business education. Because of the deep  work we have done at the Wright Leadership Institute on principles based leadership, we had a lot of knowledge and experience to share, and were also inspired by the idea and possibility of partnering with them to apply higher principles to business in India and the US.
