Question

living habits about dhoni

Answer 1

1. Staying calm under pressure

Even when severely tested, Dhoni manages to stay calm and this influences his whole team to resist caving in. They gain self belief and continue to perform at their best, inspired by their captain. This is one of the biggest gifts a leader can give to his company. Creativity comes to your rescue only if you are calm and focused, not emotionally hijacked.

2. Stay humble & never stop learning from your peers

Dhoni had a reputation as an aggressive batsman from a very early age, but, he didn’t let his ego stop him from learning from others. He learned the helicopter shot from his friend, which later on became a trademark shot of Captain Cool.

3. Trust your Instinct

Leaders generally have advisors and data to help them in decision making, but they also need to rely on their gut instinct. True captains can do this. In a Champions League final playing against England, Dhoni chose Ishant Shama over Umesh Yadav to bowl one more over. The match turned for India. Dhoni clarified in his BCCI. TV interview that his own instinct comes from taking an educated guess based on knowledge and experience; his decisions don’t just come from nowhere.

4. Take risks

From giving the final over to Joginder Sharma in the 2007 T20 World Cup to coming to bat ahead in the final of 2011 One-Day World Cup to letting Virat Kohli bowl for the final over in the 2016 T20 World Cup, Dhoni has shown that he, as a leader, will never hesitate to take risks. This attitude has made him India’s most successful captain. Sometimes, these risks have backfired too but that doesn’t mean he has stopped taking them.

5. Encourage new talent

Being at the top of the success ladder, Dhoni pulled up new talents that he felt deserved their chance to shine. Right from Joginder Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane to Ravindra Jadeja, he picked the best from the young talent pool.

6. Give credit to your team

This is one of the most important leadership lessons from Dhoni. In the past, whenever the Indian team has won matches, Dhoni has given full credit to its team members even when he has played a bigger role in those matches (he is one of the best finishers in the world). This is how the team becomes more confident and trusts the leader.

7. Versatility

Staying agile in sport and business is another masterstroke. Dhoni can play three formats of the game; he can bat, keep wicket and bowl. He is popular but does not demand attention. He does not get over- emotional in victory, or in defeat.

Versatility is another key to longevity in business and in sport!
