Your jobs will change, the key is to adapt to the game
Lost in the din of the jubilant celebrations of the Aussie brown-wash and Sachin Tendulkar's fabulous batting form was one little fact -- MS Dhoni stands at the cusp of becoming one of India's most successful captains of all times. He has already won the inaugural T20 World Cup; he also won the IPL and Champions League. With this series, Dhoni becomes the first Indian captain to have a 100% success rate against Australia. What he is doing brilliantly, consciously or unknowingly is a lesson for all B-school students who will be leaders one day.
We've been used to skippers who are very expressive and emotive. If Ganguly bit his nails and had a Salman Khan moment at Lords, last IPL we had the dubious pleasure of seeing Sachin Tendulkar swearing. In contrast, Dhoni has been refreshingly cool. He looks unflustered during crunch times and doesn't run to bowlers to change the field settings. He just lets the guys do their jobs, which seems a very sensible thing to do. In our lives, sites go down, servers malfunction, executives goof up, sales teams don't deliver and it's easy to vent out frustrations. The Dhoni approach would be just let the guy do his job -- you hired him and chose him with that particular task -- let him do it to the best, irrespective of the result.
