Dhoni's managemnet
by bhattathiry mp on May 30, 2011 09:20 AM

Dhon's art of Management has become a part and
parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or factory and
in Government. In all organizations, where a group of human beings
assemble for a common purpose irrespective of caste, creed, and
religion, management principles come into play through the management
of resources, finance and planning, priorities, policies and practice.
Management is a systematic way of carrying out activities in any field
of human effort. Management need to focus more on leadership skills,
e.g., establishing vision and goals, communicating the vision and
goals, and guiding others to accomplish them. It also assert that
leadership must be more facilitative, participative and empowering in
how visions and goals are established and carried out. Some people
assert that this really isn't a change in the management functions,
rather it's re-emphasizing certain aspects of management.
Management is creative problem solving. This creative problem solving
is accomplished through four functions of management: planning,
organizing, leading and controlling. The intended result is the use of
an organization's resources in a way that accomplishes its mission and
objectives.

Premature compaison
by Amartya Ray on Apr 10, 2011 03:46 PM

Cricker & Indian Politics rest on completely different hinges and underlying refernce frames, now the former has a meritocracy oriented selection process and luxuary of bench strngh to drop non performers which has evolved over time, where as the selection for the later even today largely is far from being based on merit which am sure is a fall out of democracy but am quite hopeful with the new generation deciding to get hands on with everything to usher in a welcome positive change, instead of just fretting and fuming,we would be able to integrate meriticracy ,performance & accountability seamlessly within our democratic fibre of politics in near future.... untill then, to my mind, the comparison is a bit too premature, as the captain of the team is only as good as his team.
If we are to put this debate aside, its unfair to mention only UPA , but all political parties around the globe may pick up some positives from inside or outside to improve.

What an idiotic comparison?
by RAVINDRA SITARAM on Apr 10, 2011 01:52 PM  | Hide replies

This is India, where a non-descripts, so called management consultants belittle the position of the Prime Minister of the country and scores of Internet users enjoy the publication.

Redifff must be careful in publishing articles, which have national ramification.

Cricket is an entertaining game and losing or winning a trophy has very limited effect or consequence for the country. Whereas running a government of 120 crore odd people is a huge responsibility, any wrong move is bound to have catastrophic effects on the entire population of the country.

Though our PM may not be perceived as a very strong and vocal leader, the very fact that he is holding office for the second term itself is credit. Because of party affiliations and lack of nationalism, nobody as PM can satisfy every citizen of this country, but what is important is whether the country is progressing under the leadership of a particular PM.

Though Sri Man Mohan Singh is not my favourite Prime Minister, nor I am a supporter of UPA, I strongly condemn articles similar to the one published above, in the interest of the nation.

The author and the Rediff should apologise forthwith.

Yes it is India and everyone is free for an opinion..

The author is merely suggesting how UPA can improve and looking at the scams and the issues that are being uncovered everyday , we should be desperate for a change ..

It is essential , cant you see 17000 farmers dying every year and UPA government still decreasing the import taxes .. I dont think if the PM knows it also .. And if he knows it and is not doing anything about it to hell with the reputation etc.

We need to stand for our people and against corruption every moment possible..

So if there is interest of nation anywhere in defending a faulting government please let the people know..

Dhoni vs Manmohan - Leader vs Follower
by SkShazid on Apr 10, 2011 10:12 AM  | Hide replies

Manmohan is a great scholar but he has no guts and he never leads rather follows what his master says.

It will be an insult to MSD by comparing him to Manmohan who is shielding bunch of tainted leaders.

p v narasimha rao-the last great indian
by superstar on Apr 10, 2011 09:57 AM

before mms and dhoni, there was a great man pv narasimha rao, who came in the same conditions in 1991 as pm
he did not succumb to madam's pressure tactics, and during his time he was the boss/
the man led the country successfully and ushered in new reforms which changed the face of india.. he also gave peace to punjab. though he also failed at some levels (babri, corruption), but despite his flaws, he was the only post-indira pm with real guts. even the respectable vajpayee had his moments of weakness, but not rao
salute to the great man who was humiliated by madamji during his last days and did not get his due

for blind sachin fanatics and blind dhoni haters
by Sunil Vaidya on Apr 10, 2011 03:24 AM  | Hide replies

so once again dhoni has shown who is the boss. sachin is nothing in front of

him. dhoni is the best odi batsmen india ever produced and he is much better

than sachin. dhoni always can be relied upon to produce his masterpieces in

tough and desperate situations while sachin is just a fairweather batsmen who

only plays well when the conditions are friendly and the batting track very.

flat. when a tough situation comes sachin gets out and cools his heels in the

pavilion while the other 10 players fight it out in the middle and win more

often than not. when the going gets tough it is the other 10 players who get

going. sachin does that very very rarely, if ever.


with his fantastic innings of 91 notout in the finals which helped us win the

WC dhoni completed his 6000 runs. it was his 166th innings. while sachin took

169 innings to complete HIS 6000 odi runs. that is dhoni required 3 innings

LESS than sachin to complete the milestone. dhoni has done this inspite of

batting 132 times at position no. 5, 6, 7 or 8. he has batted only 34 times so

far at positions 2-4. On the other hand sachin in his ENTIRE career has batted

ONLY 41 times at positions 5 or lower than that. STILL he needed 3 innings

MORE than dhoni to complete 6000 odi runs.

Mr. commenter,

have you ever held a bat i your hand?

People in Cricket fraternity across world (those who actually represented their countries or at least club level) have unanimously agreed on one name ..Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.


For your kind information, Sachin suggested Dhoni's name for captaincy.

So he also has the vision which people like you could never get.

India relied on one name untill 2003 and that was SRT. After that we have Yuvi, Sehwag, Gambhir to support the cause.

I've been watching him since 89 against the best bowling attacks of the world. He single handedly took them in their dain.

My suggestion to you, go to a green top wicket, stand for a while near areas like sleep, point, cover point and listen to a sound that passes batsmen's ear, I bet you, you will pee in your pants...

any ways..now the circle is complete for SRT, his CV is Golden CV and now you jealous people will keep talking lifelong...why he got the world cup?

Nobody told pakis to drop his catches but if he hadn't played against them or Ausiies, Dhoni would not have lifted the trophy...

kau chiu, your name tells it all. your knowledge about cricket is of the kau chiu level.

you say that sachin suggested dhoni's name for captaincy. but honestly tell me did YOU really EVER believe that dhoni is a good captain. i think you never ever said to anybody that dhoni is good captain. at the most you will have said he is lucky captain riding on the performances of other players and while he himself never did anything and never deserved a place in the indian team on merit. it is only now that sachin admitted that dhoni is the best captain he played under that you will reluctanly agree. tell me truthfully before sachin said that did you ever defend dhoni's captaincy ever when people criticised him. i dont think so.


what do you mean sachin has got vision that people like me could never get. even before sachin publicly admitted that dhoni is the best captain i have always defended dhoni's captaincy and fought like crazy in this forum whenever anybody abused dhoni's captaincy abilities. i also pointed out many times that after becoming captain his performances INCREASED. the more responsibilities that were put on this man he came out stronger than before. his own batting performance is simply oustanding as a captain and as a captain his batting performance has INCREASED and NOT gone down, unlike previous indian captains.

My earliest memory about cricket is the 1978 test series against pak and WI. I am amongst those people who have watched kapil dev from his 1st test to his last. so dont teach me cricket. i know much about cricket than you.

you people dont know how to appreciate great players. dhoni deserves all the appreciation he gets. while sachin has got more appreciation than he deserves. he is the most over hypped and over credited cricketer. he has been given credit of performances of other 10 players. sachin gives 10% to the team and he gets 100%, nay 1000% credit. other 10 players also play with passion and heart and all their performances are abused and downgraded by people like%2

kau chiu, have YOU ever held a cricket bat in your hand? all sachin performances against the best bowlers you named have come when the conditions were easy whenever they were difficult or india was in a crisis situation sachin has invariably failed. he has just flattered to deceive.

Kau chiu, YOU go on the green top wioket and act as per your suggestions it will be YOU who will be peeing in his pants. you forget dhoni and the numerous occasions he has helped india win in desperate situations.

we have wcs without sachin. remeber 1983 odi wc and 2007 T20 wc. even this 2011 wc we got NO thanks to sachin but because of the performance. sachin did not play at that time and we STILL got the cup. what do you mean if sachin had not played against pakis or aussies dhoni would not have lifted the trophy. kapil's and dhoni's team at these 2 wcs were abused and called names but those teams still won the wc ignoring the cries of people who did not understand cricket and appreciate performances of our players. the truth is if the other 10 players had not played as they did in this wc it would have been sachin who would NOT have got WC to write about in his 'golden cv' in your post you only mention sehwag, yuvi and gambhir. you are silent about the contribution of players like ganguly, dravid, laxman, dhoni, bhajji, zaheer, kumble etc.


kau chiu, sachin NEVER in his entire career of more than 20 years was a 'one-man-army' as his blind fanatics would like to believe. it was always a team work right from his 1st match upto now. you are speaking of 2003 but dear, it was from 1989 till now that everybody in the team were responsible for the indian success not ONLY sachin '100%'.

we are mixing batting talent vs captaincy. Being Indians. let's appreciate Sachin for being World's leading batsman for many years consistently and let's appreciate Dhoni for being World's best captain in the last 2 years and his ability to keep cool under pressure is what is helping Indian team. However, lets not forget Ganguly since some of the star performers now have come under his captaincy. this should not be comparing Sachin vs Dhoni.. it should be batting talent (performer) vs Leader or captaincy.

vikram nobody's mixing batting talent and captaincy. at least not me. you say dhoni has been best captain for the past 2 years. i think you are saying this only because of sachin admitting it. tell me before wc did you ever say that dhoni is best captain for the last 2 years? i dont think so. and FYI, dhoni IS better odi batsman than sachin. sachin batting talent (performer) only shows in friendly conditions NOT in desperate situations. even ganguly has admitted that dhoni is the best. and why could ganguly not do what dhoni has did. hadnt ganguly got the better batsmen and bowlers than dhoni? you yourself admit that his ability to keep cool under pressure is what is helping indian team. YET you still want to belittle him as much as possible. you STILL want to give dhoni as little credit as possible...

talking what does dhoni know abt
batting helichopter dog should be thrown out of a flying one.

dhoni coming at no 5 boss if he has guts tell hin 2 open the inning & face the new ball
i bet u he will pee in his pants..
look at his recent carrer every good fast bowler knows how to trap him.
he is successful as a captain bcause of only one reason..
long time mantra " make 12th man captain"
dhoni has proved it 2 be correct.
he is neither main rungetter of team nor bowler who is suppossed to take wickets.
so he can captain side without any pressure & give excuses when we loose natches .
so boss mind ur words or else pretend 2 be dumb...

When Nehra dropped a catch in the semi-finals Dhoni did not admonish him but asked to let go. This motivated Nehra whose performance was outstanding.
When Sreesanth failed in one match, Dhoni had very bad remarks for him in the press room and this destroyed Sreesanth's confidence.
This is not good captaincy. You have to give equal treatment to every one.

But then, there is difference between lack of skill and lack of discipline. Isn't it?

Everyone knows that Nehra's limitations as a fielder and he was selected into the squad with those limitations. When he dropped, there was a genuine attempt from Nehra. That is what Dhoni acknowledged. As a youngster Sreesanth acts out of immaturity and it does not require any analytical skills to say that, if Sreesanth continues this way, he will be following Vinod Kambli's path and I am sure, Dhoni's remarks in press conference were not about the performance, they were about attitude. I personally believe, Sree should get this nonsense out of his way and let his bowling do all the speaking. I am sure Dhoni also prefers it that way.
