Gandhian Engineering: Providing for every person’s need, not every person’s greed

As with many of these TED Talks, I wish I could pull out some highlights and deliver some powerful information in even less time than the already short talks being given. In this one, at the end (around the 18 minute mark), is where Mashelkar talks about “convex lens leadership.” The thing about parallel lines is that they never meet. What a convex lens does is focus those lines. And when focused, incredible work can be achieved.

Theme of this talk is More For Less For More (translated: much greater performance that is super-affordable so that many many many can benefit). Providing for everyone’s needs through compassionate innovation.

Dig it!
