Teachers changed their behavior after feedback and impacted children’s personalities. A competent, loyal, and honest leader did not know that his juniors hated working with him. He started smiling after anonymous feedback from them which changed the climate of the workplace. Dr. T.V. Rao presents the power of feedback from known people to change the lives of others and maximize leadership impact. T V Rao, Chairman of T V Rao Learning Systems, was a Professor at IIM, Ahmedabad from 1973 to 1994 and subsequently an Adjunct Professor and on the Board of IIMA. He also worked as the L&T Chair Professor of HRD at XLRI, Jamshedpur. He was the Founder and First President of the National HRD Network and the Founder and the First Honorary Director of the Academy of HRD. He has established the first dedicated Department of HRD at L&T along with Dr Udai Pareek in mid-seventies much before HRD was known.

He has authored around 60 books and pioneered the 360 Degree Feedback, Assessment Development Centres and HRD Audit in India. He has won several awards for his outstanding contributions to the field of HRD including the title of "Ravi Matthai National Fellow" awarded by the Association of Indian Management Schools. He was recently awarded by the Asia Pacific Federation of HRM as APFHRM Professional of the year 2019. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
