He understands the pressures and the soft points of people, and uses this knowledge

to make them part of his team.

Each one of his team members is treated as special, as being different.

Bhuvan also assigns responsibilities to each of his people.

Just getting the people in the team is not good enough. They have to be told what the goal is.

A team consists of different individuals.

The objective is to make them all work together like a fist, like a team.

SUPPORT THE TEAM MEMBERS:SUPPORT THE TEAM MEMBERS:

Bhuvan backs his team members to the hilt,even when they make mistakes.

the right person, at the right time, for the right job.
