Raghu Krishnamoorthy and Hitendra Wadhwa on Why the Future of Leadership Lies Within Intersections Podcast

    • Mental Health

In this Intersections episode, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa and Dr. Raghu Krishnamoorthy offer critical insights on:
How we’re moving from a “find it out” world to a “figure it out” worldWhat it takes to advance leadership from being business-centered to human-centeredMoving beyond outer metrics to ground leadership in inner metricsHow empathy and compassion can drive organizational performanceMoving from “getting the most out” to “bringing the best out” of employeesIn the post-pandemic era, trends such as the “Great Resignation,” hybrid work and employee well-being are creating a paradigm shift in organizational culture. These trends require us to go back to the basics to redefine the model of what it means to be an exceptional leader. The way we lead today needs to evolve to embrace the new future of work, workers and the workplace.
Based on Dr. Wadhwa’s recently published book, Inner Mastery, Outer Impact, we will examine how Inner Mastery could provide the foundation on which leaders can tackle these shifts for their organizations — as they manage people and drive performance, equip their managers with new skills and tools to tackle the accompanying challenges, and help employees operate in an ever-changing landscape of continued disruption.
Raghu Krishnamoorthy is a seasoned global executive with 35+ years of experience in driving business outcomes as a Human Resources professional. He retired from General Electric (GE) as the CHRO in early 2019, after 25 years with the company — doing work that spanned three continents, several multi-billion-dollar lines of business, and exciting corporate leadership roles. At Mentora, Raghu serves as an Executive Director and Senior Faculty, driving pragmatic, application-oriented solutions for Mentora clients in learning and transformational change.
Raghu is often sought out to share his expertise at leading universities and forums including Harvard, MIT, Yale, Columbia, the Economist and the Milken Institute. He has recently taken on the role of Director of the “Chief Learning Officer Executive Doctoral Program” at the University of Pennsylvania. His research has won the best paper award at the Academy of Business Research August conference. He was also named one of the top 50 Asian Americans in the world of business in 2009.
