Ultimately Rao is counting on his students to create a more genuine ethic of business, one that would not allow a scandal like Enron to take root. He likes to imagine what a generation of other-centered businesspeople could do for the world. "In about a decade, my students will be in leadership positions," he says with a satisfied smile.
