confidence
 Humanity the hallmark of his
leadership style
 Operates unflappably to ensure
that all are grounded
 Keep cool, focused and determined

MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES

 Let’s first of all get rid of the feeling that it’s a 50 over
game. It’s a 20 over game and we have seen in IPL and in
20 formats, 130 runs can be a difficult target to achieve
this is what Dhoni was seen to tell his team mates before
coming on the field to defend their target after rain
affected match.
 He said while addressing the media in the post match press
conference in Birmingham on Sunday night that he told
them not to look at the sky or the opposition. He also told
them that God helps those who help themselves & God is
not coming to save them and he also told them that if they
want to win this trophy, they will have to fight it out.
 They are the number-one ranked ODI side, so let’s make sure
that they have to fight for this 130 odd runs, not to look for
any outside help. Also he said nobody could look to the left
side of the pitch where the rain was coming from
 Dhoni singled out Man-of-The-Match Ravindra Jadeja for
praise and the highest scorer of the tournament, Shikhar
Dhawan.
 Dhoni refuse to criticize Rohit Sharma for falling to convert
good starts into bigger scores. “Rohit is talented and has
proved himself. He’s proven he’s batted really well in difficult
conditions,” said Dhoni.
 Morever he uses interpersonal relations as a boost to
motivate the players. He is seen inviting them over to his
residence at various occasions which no doubt boosts the
morale of the entire team. Hence we all know how much faith
the team mates have on his captainship.
