Leadership Tips from Dhoni

One should be a performer and demonstrate the

same to our team. Performance is itself the most

effective communication.
Leader has to be humble in a way and consider
himself part and parcel of the team and not above the
team [Photo Session after Champions Trophy].
Give genuine respect and trust to the team members
[World cup-Sharma].
Allow them to experiment and take risk.

LS Tips Contd..
In case of failure, encourage him / her to introspect and

do it next time with more vigor and better planning.

Make everyone in the team feel that, even though we are
leaders, we are just one among them.
We should also believe in the ones who failed in the Team.
At crucial times a team member who was not able to deliver
might do miracles[Trust].

Ls Tips contd..
As a leader, be calm in extreme situations and lead the

team from front.

Share the credit of success with your team members and
praise them in public.
Above all believe in every member in the team
I think whats very important for me is man management.
Everyone is very different, with different temperaments.
Sachin is as important to me as everyone else in the team.
Everyone has a role to play. Man management is the most
important factor, and along with this, the team spirit.
However, what matters in the end, is the unity in diversity
of thinking, which is needed for the entire team to succeed
on the field as one.

Few More Instances of His

Leadership Style
When Ganguly was playing his last match, as a gesture of

respect, Dhoni asked Ganguly to take charge of the team when

the ninth Aussie wicket fell. Whenever he has an opportunity, he
showers his players with praises.
If you notice, instead of pressing teammates to win, Dhoni tells
them to just enjoy the game. Also, he has mentioned at several
forums that he believes to live in the present and not worry
about future or past.
Dhonis leadership style represents teamwork, empowerment
and confidence.

 Dhoni utilizes every team member at his disposal and brings

out the best performance whether he is a senior or junior player.

He provides opportunity for every team member to prove
themselves and contribute to the best of their abilities.
Story:Remember, he gave the last over to Joginder Sharma who
doesnt have much of a track record., By putting such a person in
front of a challenging task, it tells the person that the leader has
confidence in his abilities and will be fired up to put in 120 per
cent. This happened with Joginder Sharma in two critical
matches, where he was hit all around the ground and still given
the last over. He delivered on both instances

 Optimal utilization of resources, which is vital for any

business.
When team members see their leader calm in extreme
situations, they will not be rattled. It will enable them to
focus on their work and do what is expected of them.
Dhoni is always calm whether the bowler started off the
last over in the finals with a wide ball or the batsman
played a series of dot balls in a slog over.

What is So Special about

Dhoni?
In a nutshell
Dhonis story is all about
an ordinary man doing extraordinary things and
a role model for every aspiring leader.
Each one of us could use this model, pattern and
design to create our leadership journey
