Leadership Style When Ganguly was playing his last match, as a gesture of

respect, Dhoni asked Ganguly to take charge of the team whenthe ninth Aussie wicket fell. Whenever he has an opportunity, heshowers his players with praises.

If you notice, instead of pressing teammates to win, Dhoni tellsthem to just enjoy the game.Also, he has mentioned at severalforums that he believes to live in the present and not worryabout future or past.

Dhonisleadership style represents teamwork, empowermentand confidence.

Dhoni utilizes every team member at his disposal and bringsout the best performance whether he is a senior or junior player.He provides opportunity for every team member to provethemselves and contribute to the best of their abilities.

Story:Remember, he gave the last over to Joginder Sharma whodoesnt have much of a track record., By putting such a person infront of a challenging task, it tells the person that the leader hasconfidence in his abilities and will be fired up to put in 120 percent. This happened with Joginder Sharma in two criticalmatches, where he was hit all around the ground and still given

the last over. He delivered on both instances

Optimal utilizationof resources, which is vital for anybusiness.

When team members see their leader calm in extreme

situations, they will not be rattled. It will enable them tofocus on their work and do what is expected of them.Dhoni is always calmwhether the bowler started off thelast over in the finals with a wide ball or the batsman

played a series of dot balls in a slog over.
