Stanford University Professor Hayagreeva "Huggy" Rao speaks on what it takes to build and uncover pockets of exemplary performance, and spread those splendid deeds at an organization. As an organization grows bigger and older - rather than slipping toward mediocrity or worse -- Rao shares ways to recharge employees with better ways of doing the work at hand.

Professor Rao was the keynote speaker for GSB Spring Reunion on May 2, 2014. He was introduced by Dean Garth Saloner.
