PERFORMANCELEADERSHIP

INTRODUCTION:

Leadership seems to be one of those qualities that we know when we see it, but

is difficult to describe. There are almost as many definitions as there are

commentators. Many associate leadership with one person leading. Four things

stand out in this respect.

First, to lead involves influencing others.

Second, where there are leaders there are followers.

Third, leaders seem to come to the fore when there is a crisis or special

problem. In other words, they often become visible when an innovative

response is needed.

Fourth, leaders are people who have a clear idea of what they want to achieve

and why.

Thus, leaders are people who are able to think and act creatively in non-routine

situations and who set out to influence the actions, beliefs and feelings of

others. In this sense being a leader is personal. It flows from an individuals

qualities and actions. However, it is also often linked to some other role such as

manager or expert. Here there can be a lot of confusion. Not all managers, for

example, are leaders; and not all leaders are managers.

PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP

Know yourself and seek self-improvement - In order

to know yourself, you have to understand your be, know,

and do, attributes. Seeking self-improvement means

continually strengthening your attributes. This can be

accomplished through self-study, formal classes,

reflection, and interacting with others.

Be technically proficient - As a leader, you must know

your job and have a solid familiarity with your employees'

tasks.

Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your

actions - Search for ways to guide your organization to

new heights. And when things go wrong, they always do

sooner or later -- do not blame others. Analyze the

situation, take corrective action, and move on to the next

challenge.

Make sound and timely decisions - Use good problem

solving, decision making, and planning tools.

Set the example - Be a good role model for your

employees. They must not only hear what they are

expected to do, but also see. We must become the

change we want to see - Mahatma Gandhi

Know your people and look out for their well-being -

Know human nature and the importance of sincerely

caring for your workers.

Keep your workers informed - Know how to

communicate with not only them, but also seniors and

other key people.


7/20

Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers -

Help to develop good character traits that will help them

carry out their professional responsibilities.

Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and

accomplished - Communication is the key to this

responsibility.

Train as a team - Although many so called leaders call

their organization, department, section, etc. a team; they

are not really teams...they are just a group of people

doing their jobs.

Use the full capabilities of your organization - By

developing a team spirit, you will be able to employ your

organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest

capabilities.

LEADERSHIP THEORIES

Interest in leadership increased during the early part of the twentieth

century. Early leadership theories focused on what qualities distinguished

between leaders and followers, while subsequent theories looked at other

variables such as situational factors and skill level. While many different

leadership theories have emerged, most can be classified as one of eight

major types:

Great Man Theories:

Great Man theories assume that the capacity for leadership is inherent

that great leaders are born not made. These theories often portray great

leaders as heroic, mythic, and destined to rise to leadership when needed.

The term Great Man was used because, at the time, leadership was

thought of primarily as a male quality, especially in terms of military

leadership.

Trait Theories:

Similar in some ways to Great Man theories, trait theory assumes that

people inherit certain qualities and traits that make them better suited to

leadership. Trait theories often identify particular personality or

behavioural characteristics shared by leaders. But if particular traits are

key features of leadership, how do we explain people who possess those

qualities but are not leaders? This question is one of the difficulties in

using trait theories to explain leadership.


9/20

Contingency Theories:

Contingency theories of leadership focus on particular variables related to

the environment that might determine which particular style of leadership

is best suited for the situation. According to this theory, no leadership

style is best in all situations. Success depends upon a number of

variables, including the leadership style, qualities of the followers, and

aspects of the situation.

Situational Theories:

Situational theories propose that leaders choose the best course of action

based upon situational variable. Different styles of leadership may be

more appropriate for certain types of decision-making.

Behavioral Theories:

Behavioural theories of leadership are based upon the belief that great

leaders are made, not born. Rooted in behaviourism, this leadership

theory focuses on the actions of leaders, not on mental qualities or

internal states. According to this theory, people can learn to become

leaders through teaching and observation.

Participative Theories:

Participative leadership theories suggest that the ideal leadership style is

one that takes the input of others into account. These leaders encourage

participation and contributions from group members and help group

members feel more relevant and committed to the decision-making


10/20

process. In participative theories, however, the leader retains the right to

allow the input of others.

Management Theories:

Management theories (also known as Transactional theories) focus on

the role of supervision, organization, and group performance. These

theories base leadership on a system of reward and punishment.

Managerial theories are often used in business; when employees are

successful, they are rewarded; when they fail, they are reprimanded or

punished.

Relationship Theories :

Relationship theories (also known as Transformational theories) focus

upon the connections formed between leaders and followers. These

leaders motivate and inspire people by helping group members see the

importance and higher good of the task. Transformational leaders are

focused on the performance of group members, but also want each person

to fulfil his or her potential. These leaders often have high ethical and

moral standards.

DHONI BUILDING UP AS A LEADER

Everyone knows where cricket in India was headed after the Men in Blue

stumbled upon the Caribbean hurdle. Indian cricket had hit its lowest point.

The coach refused to prolong his stint.

Rahul Dravid tendered his resignation on personal grounds. Tendulkar was

offered the captaincy, but he rejected it.

No one was ready to take on the gauntlet.

The man of the moment or call it a guinea

pig then was to be Dhoni, who by default

got his hands on the hot seat as he was

elevated to vice-captaincy just before the

English and Irish tour.

Apparently, it was Sachin who recommended Dhonis name. But none otherthan Dhoni deserved this post for the way he has come up the ranks. His strong

rooting to reality and a humble background pushed his case above the

glamorous but out-of-form then Yuvraj Singh.

With no godfather, Dhonis throne is purely built on raw talent and his ability to

treat the game like a game and not a religion. You can call this a stroke of luck

that he got the job of a deputy skipper for ODIs for the first time and was

elevated to leader of the pack in no time at all.


13/20

DHONI- CAPTAIN OF INDIA

Dhoni was named the captain of India Twenty 20 squad for the inaugural ICC

World Twenty20 held in South Africa in September 2007. India was crowned

champions as Dhoni led the team to victory against Pakistan in a thrilling

contest. He then went on to become the ODI captain of the Indian team for the

seven-match ODI series against Australia in September 2007. He made his

debut as full-time Test captain of India during the fourth and final test against

Australia at Nagpur in November 2008 replacing Anil Kumble who retired from

cricket after the third test. India eventually won that Test thus clinching the

series 20 and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Dhoni had previously

captained India on a stand-in basis against South Africa and Australia in 2008

and 2009 respectively. It was under his captaincy that India climbed to No. 1 in

the ICC Test Rankings in December 2009. After that he managed to lead India

in a series leveling world championship of Test against the South Africans in

Feb 2010. As a result India managed No. 1 spot in the ICC Test Rankings.

QUALITIES IN DHONI

Manager needs to be a good leader. A leader

according to Websters dictionary is a person

who takes charge of or guides a performance or

activity. To be a good leader, one must possess

good qualities.

The qualities of a leader are stated as follows:

Good personality:

Personality is sum total of physical, mental and social

qualities. Dhoni has a pleasing personality, which gives him

an asset to a leader.

Initiative:

Leaders need to have the quality of initiative. Dhoni always

makes a point that he is in a position to do the right things at

the right time without being told by others and also be in the

position to take appropriate decisions without causing delay.

Self confidence:

A leader must have self confidence. Being a self confident

person enables Dhoni to solve problems and face

challenging situations in and off the field.

Good communicator:

Good leaders are effective communicators. Dhoni not only

gives orders & instruction, but also ensures that the players

have understood him clearly. He also makes it a point to


15/20

clearly understand any communication from his

subordinates.

Discipline :

A good leader must be a discipline person. Being

disciplined, he is in a better position to command the

discipline of his Team members. This has made Dhoni

dedicated & committed to group goals.


16/20

MANAGEMENT LESSONS TO BE LEARNT

FROM DHONI

A LEADER SHOULD HAVE A TEAM THAT HE/SHE WANTS

1. Dhoni was clear about whom he wanted and he insisted on

it even while taking enormous personal risk.

2. He preferred the raw talent over big guns like Saurav,

Rahul and Laxman

3. Remember after winning the trophy after the tri series he

said my team

OPTIMAL UTILIZATION OF RESOURCES

1. A leader should know optimal utilization of resources

2. In current talent scarce market-attrition and poaching

scenario, it is a key leadership skills

3. Dhoni never complaint about absence of Zaheer Khan, R.P

Singh, Ishant or Yuvraj when they got injured, but got on

with on what was available and performed successfullywith them.

LEADER SHOULD BACK HIS TEAM

1. Dhoni backed people especially who were low on

confidence and raw.

2. Generally, leaders do not trust people who are low on

confidence and raw.3. Leader gives them easy task that are not only dents their

confidence but they also never get the opportunity to

learn.

LEADER SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIS TEAM


17/20

1) On the contrary, by trusting such people and throwing a

challenge at them, the member will be ready to lay his life

for the leader.

2) Dhoni showed enough confidence in his young team

whether asking Ishant to open bowling or selecting Pravin

Kumar over Sehwag

i) Opening bowling with Pravin Kumar

ii) Sending Rohit to bat ahead of more established

batsman

iii) Selecting Piyush Chawala for the finals with no

previous match practice.

LEADERS INSPIRE AND TRUST

1. Irfan Pathans anecdote about Mahendra Singh Dhoni shortly

after India had won the tri series tournament give someone

inside in to the mind and methods of Indian captain

2. During my last over Pathan told the ESPN commentators,

Dhoni walked up to me patted me on the back and said with

a smile, you are not such a bad bowler to give away three

boundaries now!!

3. In the event, Pathan got two wickets to Quash Australia

hopes and win the tri series but that is only half the story of

how Dhoni inspires his players to perform for him.

4. The other and perhaps more crucial half is how he trusts

them to do this.

LEADER SHOULD BE CALM AND COOL

1. Among so much pressure Dhoni was very calm and cool.

2. In spite of mudslinging, verbal assault and threat of being

not able to qualify for the final, he was cool, calm and

always smiling.

3. Even when they had beaten Australia in the second Final

and won the trophy he was very calm and cool a left his

team to do all the jumping and enjoyment.


18/20

CONSTANT EXPLORE AND INNOVATE

1. A Good Leader has to explore and innovate. Change in

business environment is very rapid.

2. A Leader needs to encourage trying and experimentingand keeping the things which work.

3. Dhoni whether sending Irfan to open or one down ,

opening the bowling with Pravin Kumar and Ishan or

selecting five bowlers or two spinners out-thought and

out-strategize the mighty Australians.

INNOVATATION TO THRIVE FAILURE MUST BE

ENCOURAGED

1. Most of his team members had said on camera that Dhoni

had told them not to take much tension and just enjoy the

game. It does not matter even if we loose.

2. You cannot innovate if the failures are punished.

LIVE IN THE PRESENT1. Dhoni mentioned that live in the present and not worry

about the future or past.

2. Too much analysis/strategizing for the future is not

recommendable in a dynamic changing business

environment. Dhoni believes that too much analysis leads

to paralysis.

LEADER SHOULD GIVE THE CREDIT

1. A good leader should let his team take the credit.

2. See how Dhoni after being handed over the Trophy

Handed it over to his team members .At the prize giving

ceremony he supported Harbhajan and took the swipe at

Aussie media.

A LEADER SHOULD WALK THE TALK


19/20

1. A leader should lead from the front and their role model.

2. Remember Dhoni in one of the crucial match with Sri-

Lanka avoided all the big shots and scored all his runs by

running. While in the second final-he scored 36 runs in 36

balls when quick runs were required.

A LEADER SHOULD BE FEARLESS AND CONFIDENT

1. Dhoni has a quality of fearlessness and confidence to

believe and perform that you can compete with the best in

the world and win.

2. Dhoni believes that young Leadership is not about age,

but about thinking big and risk taking ability.

CONCLUSION

THE ROLE OF A CAPTAIN IS REALLY DIFFICULT BUTDHONI OVERCAME THOSE DIFFICULTIES AND

GAVE HIS BEST AND PROVED HIMSELF AS A GREAT

CAPTAIN. HE IS AN IDEAL PLAYER FOR THE PRESENT

YOUTH. DHONI HAS ALL WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GOOD

LEADER.HE THRIVES FOR BETTERMENT OF TEAMS

PERFORMANCE. HE HAS THE ABILITY TO TAKE INDIA TO

NEW HEIGHTS OF SUCCESS.
