This is all about learning from the new leadership sensation of Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni… Earlier I had few reservations on him as he haven’t encouraged the inclusion of seniors like dravid and specially Ganguly in the team. Now his ideas are proved worthy as he won the ODI trophies in Australia and Srilanka and winning more ODIs… The team’s potential is undoubtedly high right from the beginning and what makes this young lad so special being ‘the leader’ did mattered.
Dynamic decision making skills:
Many leaders go with a strategy and mostly stick to it in the battle field be it a sports or in corporate world… They don’t go out of the box or go with any adhoc strategy to approach the crisis the team facing… this chap stands apart with his quick and effective decisions…. For ex… in the 4th ODI against SL in the idea cup, when Jayasurya was at his best hiking the run rate, he got bajji to attack little early only to disturb his rhythm and getting the catch at 2nd slip by well placed fielding….another ex. Is bringing Joginder sharma during the final of the T20 World cup to bowl the last critical over to win the title… this is ofcourse a big risk.. I appretiate his nature of going-by-instincts which pays good for any professional who is in the field for quiet some time…
Never say die attitude:
This is one of the key quality a leader should possess… this guys approach some times reminds me the Hansie Cronje’s XI of south Africa… no matter how many wickets lost… no matter how many runs the opponents scored… ‘We are still in the game’… although past leaders had this quality, dhoni went on take the best of it when compared with others….
Young blood, bold decisions:
Being young is major advantage…. No matter in whatever field one is in… from wat I observed with my limited experience looking at the world… most of the old managers scare to take bold decisions and also I noticed young managers or old managers who are young in themselves never gives a big thinking on taking bold decisions… ther focus being the team’s victory rather worrying about ‘how worse the impact of my decision making will be’
Good team:
This is a sort of luck factor.. however, I wont completely call it as luck… to me I feel dhoni got a better talented cricketers than what sachin had in his regime….
Taking up the responsibility:
This is something made him the best… he entered in to the team as a disaster man who got impeccable strike rates in every match he plays… I cant forget his 183 that he made so early in his career… This was highest by any wicketkeeper batsman… After becoming captain, he took more responsblty to his shoulder and did justice to his role as a captain.. which is what lagging by most of the leaders in any field… after taking up the captainship, his strike rate significantly went down, the point to be noted is his average… which has immensively raised to show his tempermant and responsblty that he had taken up to show good results rather goin on to improve his personal record… a self less person who worked for his team and country…. Also, made sure he got the best of the money he could make while he is at peak of his carrer through ads, ipl, etc….
I am sure he will get many followers for his leadership, talent and above all his ‘Sportsmanship’ : )

Deepika Jindabaab!!!!!
Agree. The one reason many like him, is for his youthful outlook. When he was asked in an interview on what he thought when he was offered that huge a money in IPL selection, his reply was - 'I was just thinking how many bikes I could buy with this money' :-)
