1. Corporate or Business World

2. Goal Setting
The Handi/Pot is located at a height which has to be reached.
Similarly, in an organization the goal should be well-defined,
communicated, and transparent to all the key stakeholders.
Physically and mentally the goal needs to be embedded in
every team member’s heart and mind so that they are duly
aligned and committed to the achievement.

3. Stretched Target
The Handi is placed at a significant height above
the ground level which is not very easy to reach
but nonetheless it is achievable. Likewise, in the
business world in order to derive maximum
efficiency of the resources targets are always
stretched.
One can separate the “performers” and the “also-
rans” when a stretched target is conquered.
There is a sense of accomplishment & greater
satisfaction once such targets are achieved.

4. One Team-One Goal
This sport requires tremendous team effort.
No single individual can achieve the goal
even if the person is a super-star performer.
All the team members have to contribute
effectively and efficiently in reaching the top
position.
Non-alignment can shatter the dreams of
scaling the height.

5. Right Man at the Right Place
In Dahi Handi, a human pyramid is formed. The lowest
level (or the base layer) often consists of sturdy people (each
participant is referred to as Govinda) who can bear a strong
load.
The middle layer comprises participants who possess a high
degree of focus and balancing skills.
The one who climbs to break the pot is usually a light
weight individual (generally a child).
In any successful organisation this aspect of hiring the right
talent and deploying them at the right positions is of critical
significance.

6. Develop the right competencies
The key success factor is load bearing ability
and balancing skills amongst all the
participants.
Sufficient practice is required to develop these
skills.
Therefore, imparting the right training
and knowledge to the employees of the
organisation can hardly be over-emphasised.

7. Inter-departmental co-ordination
All the participants need to perform in a well-
orchestrated manner lest the pyramid falls apart.
This is where inter-dependency and mutual
support is required.
When compared to a corporate organisation
inter-departmental co-ordination, understanding
and empathy are some areas which can never be
ignored

8. Competition/Obstacles
Nothing happens in a vacuum. Every activity has its
share of obstacles, hurdles & deterrents.
During the Dahi Handi sport, public pour water on the
participants to stop their progress.
It makes them slip and fall down, and thereby, the
pyramid collapses. In the business world, we often face
competition, challenges both internally and externally
in realising our goal.
Right training, skills, experience & fluid intelligence
helps one to overcome such roadblocks, manage those
situations & eventually emerge as a winner.

9. Celebrate Small Wins
When the blocks of the pyramid is
formed the team is cheered & kept
continuously motivated to take the next
step.
That is a fuel which keeps them going.
We need to celebrate success in a small
way to be motivated and prepare
ourselves for the next bigger goal.

10. Devise Creative Means
Lord Krishna during his childhood was so fond of milk products that
he used to steal from not only his house but from neighbors, as well.
They thought of storing these dairy products out of reach of Sri
Krishna and prevent him from eating.
But he devised creative ways to reach to the pot.
Similarly, we need to think out-of the box and devise creative
methods to reach our goal.
Such lateral thinking needs to be encouraged, practiced in a
professional organization.

11. Learn from Failures quickly
Each team is given 3 attempts in this sport.
Each failed attempt is a learning for the next.
In real world it is important how quickly we
learn from our mistakes, re-group ourselves &
reach our destination.
That is what separates the winner from the rest.

12. Distribution of Earnings
The winning teams are given good prize money
from the sponsors.
This is a team sport and all members are equally
important to the final success.
This calls for the distribution of the earnings in an
unbiased manner.
We need to reward & recognise all the employees
in an impartial manner as per their roles to keep
them charged for the next journey!
