2. LAGAAN WAS BASED ON WHAT ?
It was based on taxes imposed on them by Britishers for 3 times if
they got defeated by britishers in cricket.
3. THINK OF PROBLEM AS OPPORTUNITIES
Captain Russell’s challenge Bhuvan to play the Cricket Match.
This was taken up by Bhuvan as an opportunity to bring happiness into
the lives of his village folk.
4. DREAM BIG AND DEFINE THE GOAL
Bhuvan accepting the challenge to play the cricket
match as winning it meant 3 yrs of ‘TAX FREE’
happiness.
But he did not just dream ‘BIG’, he also chalked
out a strategic plan of action to win the match.
He then put it before eyes of those, whose
involvement was of importance in the match.
5. BE DETERMINED IN FACE OF OPPOSITION
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
in an untouchable in the team.
6. MAKE A BEGINING
Bhuvan did not wait to start. He did not see around. He made bat
and a ball, got the kid interested and started
7. SMALL VICTORIES ARE IMPORTANT AT THE START
Bhuvan hitting the ball for the first time in full public view and
inculcating a feeling of participation among them.
8. BUILDING THE TEAM
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.
10. LEAD FROM THE FRONT
Never Give Up… that was Bhuvan’s winning mantra.
This attitude of his also enabled him to give his best
shot even at the last ball and thus win the match.
In sport, in business and in life…..always be alert,
because you never know when opportunity may knock
on your door.
11. OVER CONFIDENCE DESTROYS
Captain Russel and his team members thought that the
match would be a cake walk for them because they
were a lot of good experienced. But was here that they
committed a mistake, they were overconfident and
overlooked the ability of the enemy and this is what
made them lose the match.
12. TRAIN AND PRACTICE
There are no shortcuts for physical and mental fitness. Bhuvan and
his team strongly believed it and never compromised on it.
There is only one mantra: To be well trained and have good enough
practice…. which is
!HARD WORK!
13. FAITH IN GOD
When everything else seems lost, God shows the way… ofcourse, as
long as you are on the right side.
14. ITS ABOUT TEAM SPIRIT
No matter how well Bhuvan played in the match, nothing would
have been possible if all the team members did not put in their
efforts.
Bhuvan showed how an average team filled with team spirit can
overcome a group of talented, experienced but under-motivated
individuals.
15. CONCLUSION
We conclude that in every where leader plays an
important role either it is a organization, firm or it is a
match which is played by the Bhuvan and his team.
Team spirit and team coordination makes an team
more effective to perform more well. Not only team
spirit is enough, you need to learn new things and
practice till the end you learned properly how to
perform in a accurate manner.
