The Most Important Global Values For Children to Learn and LiveRakesh Malhotra
Adventures of the Tornado Kid is written by Rakesh Malhotra, a world-traveled values-based leader who specializes in human behavior. As a result of working, living and traveling around the world to nearly 40 countries, Rakesh realized that performance and overall human behavior was similar across all cultures worldwide. This sparked a lifelong fascination with the connection between human behavior and core values. Rakesh has authored numerous human values and performance management related articles and delivered presentations on similar topics.
In Adventures of the Tornado Kid, Rakesh utilized his experiences and vast research on human behavior and values to create an intimate observation of the lives of two children with opposing upbringings. He shares crucial techniques to help all of us impart basic human values among today’s youth.
Leadership expert and author, Rakesh Malhotra, has written Adventures of the Tornado Kid as a way to help teach children the ‘value of values’.
He believes we need to counteract the loss of traditional role models and the mass of conflicting messages that children are exposed to in today’s global media landscape. With no clear guidance, students leave school with professional qualifications but little in the way of an underlying value system.
The lack of societal values, such as responsibility, compassion and integrity, has been of increasing concern in recent years with the corruption and fraud exposed at the heart of the financial system. It is something that Malhotra has sought to address with his work.
He has used his experience as a successful CEO and extensive study of human behavior to devise a system which identifies the five core values that act as the foundation for a successful life. They have been chosen so as not to conflict with any existing religion, faith or culture.

Spiritual growth group dynamics is well matched with developing and challenging growing believers for genuine spiritual formation and transformation, leading to Christ- likeness. Effective use of spiritual growth group dynamics is a useful aid in developing mature believers who can effectively interact within the larger Christian community. Considering the problem that the church has had with spiritual formation of adults, groups utilizing the structure of growth groups and focus on spirituality should be a key part of the answer.
