There is a relatively small number of leaders/managers who seem able to build relationships, trust, and rapport with almost anyone, and then are able to broker the relationships and make connections between people, creating partnerships and alliances, and motivating forward momentum to ‘get things done.’ And Lalit Moorjani is certainly one of those people.[3]
