Pradeep B. Deshpande is Professor Emeritus in and former Chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Louisville, and founder President and Chief Executive Officer of Louisville-based Six Sigma and Advanced Controls (SAC). He has five decades of academic and full-time industrial experience. He has made certain discoveries in the last two decades that can transform businesses, educational institutions, and societies. A few of them are: (1) The performance in the external world is intricately linked to our internal (emotional) excellence. Boost internal excellence and the performance will zoom. See my article, The Secret of Exemplary Performance, BizEd, September/October 2019, (2) Internal excellence has a profound bearing on health and wellness (Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research, 9, 7, 2018), (3) Internal excellence is a critical component of leadership (BusinessLine, August 15 2019), (4) The pursuit of higher levels of internal excellence, or equivalently emotional excellence, is a well-posed scientific problem since emotions can be measured and the process with which to reach for higher levels of internal excellence is meditation, or more generally yoga, known for thousands of years. The availability of a measurement device for emotions means progress can be audited, and (5) The scientific framework for external and internal excellence is the pathway for a better and more peaceful world. An article on the synopsis of the framework may be found in Dialogue and Alliance, a publication of the United Nations affiliated Universal Peace Foundation, June 2019. I have made presentations on these topics in several countries including the Parliament of Peru and the Prime Minister’s Office in India, NITI Aayog and others always to enthusiastic audiences. For additional information about the framework and its role in health & wellness, improvement in performance, creativity & innovativeness, interpersonal relationships, and less discord and violence, see the articles in the hyperlink, Select Papers of Prof. Pradeep B.
