Praise for Are You Ready to Succeed?
'Srikumar Rao is one of the greatest teachers I have ever met. He has made a

wonderful difference in many people's lives - including mine - and this book can

make a wonderful difference in yours. Are YOU ready to succeed? If you are read this

book!' - Marshall Goldsmith, editor of The Leader of the Future and Coaching for

Leadership
'I have had the rare privilege of speaking at Professor Rao's course First, I was

stunned by the credibility of Professor Rao in the minds of his students. I was

struck by his scholarship, the lucidity and simplicity of his message, the power of

his articulation, and of course his walking the talk, when it came to the values he

propounded in his class Professor Rao's course is not just an ethics course; it is a

forum for self-exploration. It forces corporate leaders to define their personal

values and goals. N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor, Infosys

Technologies
