Raju is one of my favorite people in the whole world. He subscribes to my postive philosophy of life. He is a leader of Appreciative Inquiry in Asia. He is a joy to be around. He was the best participant in the large group of 300. He is high energy. He is a fantastic communicator. He has the highest of values. He has a desire to continually develop himself and others. Now I just need to help him become greater and even more influential. I want to teach him how to facilitate the transformation of a system. Why? Because I am retired from OD. I do not have much time left on this earth. Now I just want to select the best change agents in the world and teach them what I learned from Ron Lippitt. Ron wrote the first book on change. Why? Because the Whole System social technology is, imho, one of the most powerful interventions in existence. Raju has one aspect down pat. In our large meetings, we most always have a person like him come in and present… in what Dannemiller called a ” view from the bridge”. An outside expert to stimulate and motivate the room/system so they will have a common new language and aspiration to shift in harmony. Raju is among the best at doing such. And yes, Raju Mandhyan is one happening TV Star.
