Maintaining the culture/respect for hierarchy
You may find it a little difficult to digest this, but the respect to hierarchy is a must and at the same time the culture of the department should also be maintained so that your subordinates do not take you for granted and do not provoke to cross their limits. Flexibility a must
Today's boss should be flexible enough to change his actions and work as the situation demands. He should not be carrying the stereotype image which can help his subordinates manipulate the prediction of the management's action.

Sachin, Saurav, Dravid performed well in comparison to Dhoni who always decides his batting position depending upon the target and the opposition strength you never see him coming in early when an uphill task is at hand.

If Fernando did not do the miss-filding in the last ball against Rajasthan match what would you tell then ? Has this anything that Sachin could do ?

a good confidence level. Paving the way to your subordinate can help you grab a better position ahead.
Understanding employee needs
Needs are changing more frequently than anything else in the world. A boss has to play an important part in understanding his subordinate's needs. He has to be more extrovert and friendly.
Introducing interactive sessions in his schedules can work wonders where he can meet his subordinates and understand their needs privately.
Be more democratic in decision-making
A boss may not loose much if he consults his subordinates while making some important decision. Also he should not be imposing his thoughts and choices on the issues, this may tend to take his position outclassed.
Setting up a committee , giving the freedom to cast a vote or unanimously arriving at a conclusion , should be the right procedure to decide on some crucial matters.
Maintaining the relationship by information exchange
What's happening and what's not is the base on which a boss should be maintaining relations with his subordinates. Give and take information is very essential for a system to extract the best results, never forgetting that giving respect is earning respect.
More friendly and humorous
Taking some time off and having a casual meeting with subordinates to update things and keeping oneself involved in the departmental matters can help in bonding good intradepartmental relations; and at tea time cracking a few jokes or being humorous can make you more clo
While it is ridiculous that captains do not know the names of their players, too much is made of Shane Warne's leadership qualities. It is the media who underestimated Rajasthan not its owners. Soon the emphasis will move away from captains being CEOs.
Gone are the days when "you are fired" were the common phrases in an organisation. Today the world has become more competitive; we find specialisation creeping in every field of life; subsequently the demand-supply graph has become more complicated.
Studies have revealed that emotions play a vital role in today's world of management. Only salary , perks , security ,welfare do not fulfil the satisfaction level of an employee. He also expects good environment , good scope , transparency in the system , and much more with it. Words such as ambition , attitude are the key words of the youth of the present generation.
There are certain norms to be followed to become a 'good' boss:
*
Delegating responsibilities *
Understanding employee needs *
Be more democratic in decision-making *
Maintaining the relationship by information exchange *
More friendly and humorous *
Maintaining the culture /respect for hierarchy *
Flexibility a must
Delegating responsibilities
Today's boss should not feel reluctant to delegate responsibilities to his subordinate , provided the person he has selected for the particular assignment fulfils the qualities demanded by the position and has got sufficient potential and calibre to cope even at critical times.
This broadens the scope of the subordinate, brightens his future prospects and also acts as a moral booster, which helps him to attain
Iam working in a IT industry in a corporate office Dept.Not all the managers and corporate heads are good enough in handling the team. They too show partiality among the team.The point Iam trying to convey they might be good at their work but not necessarily in people management skills.
Any employee can be able to work well even if he doesnt like the job. But if the immediate boss and work environment is not good its very difficult to survive.
So I request all the bosses or managers to have sometime in fine tuning their skills in people management.
Another example of bad leadership... going up to the bowler after every delivery and giving him a 5-min lecture on how to bowl, even when the bowler is an international player. (Hint: Tendulkar to Fernando in the Royals match they lost).

People forget that same sachin cooled Fernado when he dropped simple catch and later on he captured the wicket in his first ball.
It is the current media trend that if the team wins captain is good and if team loose captain is bad... I still remember that When Dravid took the captaincy all the media lavised him and compared with great legends. Now the same media is praising Dhoni and blaming Dravid... I'm sure that the same media going to blame Dhoni in future..

Sachin messed up with giving Raje bowling 15/16/17/18th either of overs in those last ball finish-MI lost matches. Each over cost MI around 16-24 runs approx. Whereas leading world class bowlers of MI ended up with 1-2 un used. Such RAJE costly overs immdtly brought pressure on other bowlers too.
In some of the matches we saw Sachin getting angry-howling-uttering bad mouthies to world class bowlers, but RAJE got princely treatment

Even I totally agree that, it was the mistake of Sachin giving cruisal overs to the inexperienced bowlers. He should have kept Pollock in the final overs. He has done the same mistake in previous match also. Bowling changes were cost them the match.

Tendulkar was never an inspirational captain. It beats me as to how Ganguly messed up his player's name! Dravid and Laxman(though not playing now) were/are always the introvert types. Yuvi is still learning and has lot to learn. Ditto for Dhoni as well as Sehwag. They shud take lessons of man-management from Shane Warne, handling dual responsibilities of the captain and coach.
