Interview with K Ramesh on Management Guru

November 2010 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

If we want to emphasize the word 'guru,' then we are not looking at someone just for his/her ability to identify problems and opportunities, develop a strategy, and execute it effectively in his/ her organization. The word 'guru' has the connotation of someone who removes the ignorance of others or enlightens others.
