2/18

A Leader should have the teamhe/she wants

Dhoni was clear about whom hewanted and insisted on it even whiletaking enormous personal risk

He preferred the raw talent over bigguns like Saurabh, Rahul and Laxman

Remember after winning the trophyafter the tri series he said my team



3/18

Optimal utilization of resources

A Leader should know the optimalutilization of resources.

In current talent scarce market -attrition and poaching scenario, it is a keyleadership skill.

Dhoni never complained about absence

of Zaheer Khan, R.P Singh, Ishant orYuvraj when they got injured, but got onwith what was available and performedsuccessfully with them.



4/18

Leader should back his/her team

Dhoni backed people especially whowere low on confidence and raw.

Generally, leaders do not trust peoplewho are low on confidence and raw.

Leaders give them easy tasks that notonly dents their confidence but they also

never get the opportunity to learn



5/18

Leader should have confidence inhis/her team

On the contrary, by trusting such peopleand throwing a challenge at them, themember will be ready to lay his/her lifefor the leader

Dhoni showed enough confidence in hisyoung team-Whether asking Ishant to open bowlingor -Selecting Pravin Kumar over Sehwag

-Opening bowling with Pravin Kumar-Sending Rohit to bat ahead of moreestablished batsmen-Selecting Piyush Chawla for the finalswith no previous match practice

-Asking Gambhir to open the battingvisit kamyabology.com for similarvideo/ppt/articles


6/18

Leaders -Inspire and trust

Irfan Pathans anecdote about Mahendra SinghDhoni shortly after India had won the tri-seriestournament gives some insight into the mind andmethods of the Indian captain. During my last over, Pathan told the ESPNcommentators, Dhoni walked up to me, pattedme on the back and said with a smile, Youre notsuch a bad bowler to give away three boundariesnow!

In the event, Pathan got two wickets to quashAustralias hopes and win the triseries, but that isonly half the story of how Dhoni inspires hisplayers to perform for him. The other, and perhaps more crucial half, is howhe trusts them to do this.



7/18

Leaders -should be calm and cool

Amongst so much pressure Dhoniwas very calm and cool.

Inspite of mudslinging, verbal assault

and threat of being not able toqualify for the final he was cool, calmand always smiling.

Even when they had beatenAustralia in the second final and wonthe trophy, he was very calm and cooland left his team to do all the

jumping and enjoyment.



8/18

Constant explore and innovate

A good leader has to explore andinnovate. Changes in businessenvironment are very rapid.

A leader needs to encourage tryingand experimenting and keeping thethings which work

Dhoni whether sending Irfan to openor one down, opening the bowlingwith Pravin Kumar and Ishan orselecting 5 bowlers, or two spinnersout-thought and out-strategized themighty Australians



9/18

Innovation to thrive, failure mustbe encouraged

Remember most of his teammembers said on camera thatDhoni told them not to take

much tension and just enjoythe game. It does not mattereven if we lose.

You cannot innovate if thefailures are punished



10/18

Live in the present

Dhoni mentioned that helives in the present and notworry about the future or

past Too much analysis/strategizing for the future isnot recommendable in adynamic changing businessenvironment.Too much analysis leads toparalysis



11/18

Leaders should give the credit

A good leader should let histeam take the credit.

See how Dhoni after beinghanded over the trophyhanded it over to his teammembers.At the prize giving ceremonyhe supported Harbhajan andtook the swipe at Aussiemedia.



12/18

A leader should walk the talk

A leader should lead fromthe front and be a role model.

Remember Dhoni in one of the crucial match withSrilanka avoided all the bigshots and made all his runs byrunning.While in the second final -scored 36 runs in 36 ballswhen quick runs wererequired.



13/18

Individuals-know your inner calling

As an individual one should believe in hisinner potential

Pravin Kumar the son of a Constableused to disappear daily in the morning at

4 am for cricket practice.He used to get beaten when he returnedevery evening but never flinchedHe plays his domestic cricket for UttarPradesh where in the absence of a goodcoach, he has relied on the likes of

Mohammad Kaif, his state captain.

teachers-recognize the child potential visit kamyabology.com for similarvideo/ppt/articles


14/18

Individuals-Have Self Belief

Have the self belief and self esteemto not get disturbed with the namecalling and all other dirty tricksemployed by others. Harbhajan Singh at the end won bytaking the critical wickets of histormentors Mathew Hayden andSymonds in both the finals. It was a poetic justice.

It is the test of your character tofocus on your performance and shutout other things



15/18

As Competitor

No matter what you are never never be arrogant about your successand achievements.This way you are firing your rivals tobeat you. Time is a great leveller.

Do not be arrogant, you might looklike a fool when the time changes

Ricky Ponting also said before thestart of the tour that they wouldwallop India by 4-0 and that Australiawould have a cakewalk in one-dayers



16/18

Play fair/by the rules

You cannot play unfair and win.For all those who shout from therooftop that in real world you cannotplay and win by the rule.

This is the apt example- if you aregood no matter what the rivals aredoing, you will win at the end as Indiadid in the end.

Do not get disturbed by temporarysetbacks.Life is a marathon and not a hundredmeter race.



17/18

Do not lose sight of the goal

Harbhajan hasn't been bowlingparticularly well of late and he didn'tbowl particularly well in the first final -BUT the two batsman at the centre of thechildish schoolyard spat with the Indianoff spinner decided he had to taught a

lesson and as a result got out.

This after they had dominated the gameand got the Indians on the back foot.Symonds and Hayden could quite easilyhave milked the bowling and taken five

singles an over and just accumulatedanother 80 more runs and then set up aguns blazing finale.

18/18

A Leader should be fearless and confident

Fearlessness and confidence tobelieve and perform that you cancompete with the best in the world andwin.

This has made India globally the best

whether in IT or in cricket
