Summary: VISION: The global management consulting firm – The Hay Group (founded way back in 1943) – through substantial study and research, has defined the key elements of Dhoni’s leadership as ‘visionary’ and ‘participative’ AMBITION: When Dhoni was offered captaincy of the national team within a couple of years of being part of the team, with many former captains still in the side, he confidently accepted and then paved the way to leadership success OBSERVATION: Dhoni keenly observes the batsmen from the opposing team while they are at the crease; notes their stance, their weaknesses, and their moods as well. This is an essential skill a leader needs to develop to keep track of competition COMMUNICATION: Dhoni, from his early days as wicket-keeper, did such a good job of effectively communicating his sharp observations, that the senior players started noticing his leadership potential, this being a prime reason he was offered the captaincy so early on in his career. ACTION: Speed – the need of the hour. Dhoni holds the world-record for fastest stumping – 0:08 seconds – less time than it takes to blink an eye. In doing this, Dhoni broke his own previously held record INNOVATION: Dhoni has several cricketing innovations to his name, including his profitable version of the spectacular ‘Helicopter Shot’ REPUTATION: Dhoni won the global ‘ICC Spirit of Cricket of the Decade Award’ for selfless and sporting actions on the cricket field INSPIRATION: Dhoni has inspired leading cricketers from every cricketing country in the world with his unique brand of leadership. Gary Kirsten has said: “I would go to war with Dhoni by my side” TRANSITION: After Dhoni took over captaincy, within quick succession, more than half the existing super-stars in the team retired. But he handled this transition phase so professionally, an even better team soon emerged under his leadership DISTINCTION: Dhoni is the only captain across the globe to have led his national team to World Cup victories in all forms of cricket COMPASSION: Dhoni giving up his business-class seat so team director George could sit comfortably, offering captaincy for a few overs to Ganguly who was playing his last match; multiple examples of Dhoni’s magnanimous nature are well known
