STARRING
MAHI on taking risks:During the final of the 2011 ICCWorld Cup, when India lost earlywickets against Sri Lanka, MSDhoni himself came to bat insteadof sending Yuvraj Singh. Heplayed till the end and India wonthat edition of the World Cup. Thiswas a major decision which couldhave gone either way. In other instances, he has backed IshantSharma in the Champions Trophy2013 and Joginder Sharma inWorld T20 2007, and this has paidoff well. One of the lessons thatwe can draw out is that leadersmust be willing to take risksand try out something new instead of sticking to patterns.
What You Could Do: Try an activity called HeliumHula, which helps teams breaktheir patterns and come up withinsights to think afresh.
Mahi led the way to becom-ing world Class:
Dhoni is a believer in experientiallearning. Here’s what he said ongetting better, “I don’t studycricket too much. Whatev-er I have learned or experi-enced is through cricket, I’veplayed on the field, andwhatever little I havewatched.” The point is learningby doing is the best way to fastenthe learning process. When you dosomething, you observe and form
a model (or process) of it in yourmind. Once the model is there inyour mind, you further apply it inreal life situations and thereby learnmore and more.
What You Could Do: It is all aboutrefining yourself day in day outwith every passing experience.
On Developing Champions:Dhoni has been criticised by peo-ple for supporting players whowere out of form. When otherssaw an out-of-form player,Dhoni saw something unique
and believed in the individ-ual. It was this belief thattransformed several players,including the incoming cap-tain and arguably the bestbatsman in the world, ViratKohli. Here’s what Kohli has tosay about Dhoni – “He (Dhoni) wasalways the person who guided meinitially and gave me opportuni-ties. He gave me ample time andspace to grow as a cricketer, savedme from getting dropped from theteam many a times.”
Being cool!“Captain Cool” is the title givento him for the calmness shown byhim during tough times. When histeam wasn’t doing well in the IPLmatches (and the team’s man-agement was stuck in controver-sy of match-fixing) he maintainedhis cool and performed well. Hehas maintained his demeanouron the field and has managed hisemotions well when the team wasnot doing well. Leaders who main-tain a sense of balance in toughand successful times can thinkthrough objectively.
