Dear Sir, Your formulation on the management lessons from cricket throws some interesting insights.
1. Sometime back, a comment used to be made: India lacks the winning spirit and it was the single most reason for India's patchy performances.
2. I agree that it the captain who is the responsible for the winning and losing of the team. This means, first and foremost, he must establish trust among his team mates. He must excel as a batsman first and foremost.
3. Team Games are competitive in nature. Hence a good captain must be a keen student of the opponents game, learn the weakpoints and stronpoints of his opponents game. He must attend or see his opponents game with other teams. He must construct a chessboard in his mind with each competitor. He must spend time discussing the tactical alternatives that he can use against the opponent to gain advantage and win.
4. He must assess the performance of his team members in different situation and choose his men with care.
5.Finally, he must develop a nose for making the appropriate decision and press home his advantage and win.
6. He has to adopt and avoid using the same tactics over and over again, so as to prevent the opponent from countering his own tactics.
7. All this calls for guile, a deep understanding of the interplay of the natural factors to adapt his approach each time every time with the sole aim of winning. In short he ( the captain) is similar to a general in battle.

>Dear MTC G Colleagues A Management Lesson from Indian Cricket team : The dismal performance of Team India on the recent N Zealand tour & present Asia cup has an important "Management lesson" to offer.
The Head / CEO/ Captain must create the Right Environment for Employees to Perform: A congenial atmosphere ensures good technology transfer from Seniors to Juniors. Sachin, Gangulay, Laxman, Dravid, Kumble should have guided the youngsters & transferred their expertize & experience. This was not possible as MS Dhoni was constantly targeting the seniors & pushed them out of the team, one after another.
He never utilized the expertize & wisdom of Seniors to formulate strategies & win MATCHES OVERSEAS. What a loss to the Nation! Selectors & MSD are answerable .
Result is - Today, barring Virat Kohli & Rahane,, all others like Rohit, Murali, Shami, Sharma lack those skills, knowledge & are struggling to Deliver Consistently, which is the hallmark of Performers. Ishant Sharma takes 5 wickets in first innings & goes wicketless & gets hit for 150 runs in second innings. So alo Shikar Dhawan or Murali or Rohit, who score once in 3 or 4 matches.
Similarly, in any organization, there must be proper internal technology transfer from Experienced Professionals to the Juniors & Freshers. The MD or CEO must constantly strive to motivate youngsters, resolve conflicts & ensure expertize passes on from the Experienced to Inexperienced. He or she must respect Age, Experience, give importance to senior staff members & pacify their ego. Then, they will train the young gens & teams , who need to perform & carry on the tradition. So also, the Principal or Director of an institution must build relationships & win the confidence of senior faculty & professionals with industry exposure. They will mould & train the juniors. That institution grows.
We have an excellent example from the present Indian cricket team. regards Ramesh Vemuganti6th March, 2014
