Once Upon A Time In India MANAGEMENT“THE

WAY.”

Mein Nahi Kar Sakta

Hum Sab Kar Sakte Hai..!!

A lesson in entrepreneurship: From here the Battle Begins

Acceptance of the Challenge- INITIATIVE

Determination in the phaseof Opposition

An opportunist

Bhuvan stood at the river of opportunity with a bucket in his hand.

Like most good leaders he recognises that a crisis is an opportunity.

Video clip-he convinces the people

Team Building Most people do rise to challenges with due respect to all, he considers EVERYONE in his team valuable to him.

Each one of us has it within us to make a difference

Bhuvan puts together a team of 11 men, including a potter, a mute temple drummer, a farmer, a woodcutter, a medicine man, a hencatcher and a fortuneteller

And even a village sweeper from the"untouchable" caste.

Ability to spot the talent Spinner and Fast bowler

ASSIGNING TASKS

DEFINING THE GOAL AND PLANNING STRATEGIES ACCORDING TO IT.

Keeping in consideration each one’s potential Bhuvan starts to delegate the work.

A manager :- SWOT analysis of his employees allot right job to the right person proper delegation of authority and responsibility.

Emergence Of a NewLeader: Bhuvan

Bhuvan had the capability to: create a shared vision. effective conflict management. converting team mates weakness into strengths. encouraging constructive dissent creating a highly motivated and cohesive team to be a winner. Throughout their hard work, he helped all his team mates and villagers in Stress management. And treated his team mates equally.

Make the best ofLimited Resources:

Bhuvan made the best out of his limited resources. The tools for the game were all made by the village folk and were made out of the best that they could lay their hands on

Leading by example:

Bhuvan makes the villagers understand that cricket in a simpler way by giving the example of gilli danda.

This way even today’s managers can use simple examples for solving complex problems.

GIVE EXAMPLES TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING

Help from an Expert

Bhuvan knew that he had very less knowledge about the game and a help from opposite team’s leader’s sister, Elizabeth, was a God sent help to him and so he did not object her involvement in the game.

HARDWORK:-

There are no shortcuts for physical and mental fitness.

Bhuvan and his team strongly believed it and never compromised on it.

They played for the hopes & aspirations of their villagers. It was their passion that made all the difference.

DON’T TAKE YOURCOMPETITORS LIGHTLY

Captain Russell was very OVER CONFIDENT and he underestimated his competitors (villagers). Overlooked the ability of the enemy

and this is what made them lose the match. OVERCONFIDENCE DESTROYS !

Should Not Look At DefeatsOn The Path As Setbacks

A manager should always learn from his mistakes and try not to repeat it.

Even after small failures, one should not get disappointed and should not stop trying to achieve the goal.

Physically & emotionallymobilizing a team

Should celebrate small wins Encourage and motivate his team members.One should try to find all

possible solutions during crisis. BACKING THE TEAM MEMBERS DURING CRUCIAL TIME

Faith in God

When everything else seems

lost, God shows the way…of course, as long as you are on the right side.

NEVER GIVE UP Their passion and hope to win till the

very end when there was 5 runs to win out of 1 ball made them achieve the goal.

A leader should never loose hope at any point of time, rather he should

FIGHT TILL THE END…!!!

Some more importantlessons:-

Learning to survive & win Need to stay focused single-

mindedly on Results Importance of trust despite betrayal Importance of being objective & unbiased Need for a “can do” spirit Humor, encouragement and force

Foreword :-

At a time when Indian Organisations are discovering the limitations of using western models to look at Leadership competencies and are searching for Indian ideas, Lagaan has certainly helped make a good beginning in this exploration.

It is evident that Indian movies of this

kind can certainly be a useful and

effective medium to communicate

relevant lessons in management

and everyday living.
