7 leadership skills one can learn from Mahendra Singh Dhoni

3) Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the team

Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya have flourished under Dhoni’s watcful eyes.

In the post-match presentation against Bangladesh. Dhoni gave a detailed story of how he knew that Jasprit Bumrah was rather “weak” in the fielding department or that Hardik Pandya isn’t the best person to bowl a yorker. The fact that his decisions are spot on most of the times is because he knows how to use the right resources at the right time.

The ability to have the knowledge of the skills of each and every individual in the team gives an edge to any leader to use the right resources at the right time. That’s again a sign of a great leader.
