as an opportunity to bring happiness into the lives of his village folk.

Right from the start when the entire village opposes Bhuvan’s having taken up the challenge to the time when the rest of his
team refuses to play because he wants to take inan untouchable in the team.
We face this situation many timesin our organisations. Many a time, we give up and accept what we feel is perhaps a lesser decision. It is at times like these that we needto speak up- as long as we know we are fighting for the right issue,
and not against an individual.

GIVE EXAMPLES TO GIVE EXAMPLES TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING:ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING:
Bhuvan simplified the challenge of learning cricket by portraying it as something similar to gilli-danda.
Analogies have that effect
and can be powerful in helping tame the seemingly difficult.
As managers and leaders, we too have this task of motivating the team members to take up challenges in the projects.

Building the team is like recruitment. One needs to select the right people and motivate them.
He understands the pressures and the soft points of people, and uses this knowledge
to make them part of his team.
Each one of his team members is treated as special, as being different.

Bhuvan also assigns responsibilities to each of his people.
Just getting the people in the team is not good enough. They have to be told what the goal is.
A team consists of different individuals.
The objective is to make them all work together like a fist, like a team.

DEFINE THE ENEMY:DEFINE THE ENEMY:
To the British it was just a game but for Bhuvan it was fight against the British oppressors and a win against them would bring
3 years of ‘TAXFREE’ life for his village folk.For Bhuvan the enemy was defined as bad, oppressors and
merciless British overlords. This clear definition helped him to fight towards a specific
goal.
In any case, having a clearly defined enemy
works as a rallying point for the team.
