...LEADERSHIP Leadership is ability to direct others, but more important is to have those people so directed accept it. The strengths of members of group and the group are in the strength of the leader. Leadership is not just a matter of position; it is communication, creation, vision, innovation, value, confidence, participation, and intellectual curiosity. Today's Leader must be able to communicate, discuss, and ask for inputs from everybody in the team and organization. He or she must be able to articulate a vision and involve people willingly in the operations. In today's organization processes, jobs and structures, leaders, and values are four points of diamond, which are linked together. The top point is the process--the way work gets done; second is its jobs and structure; third is its management system; and finally is its culture--what are its employees' values and beliefs. The key in this diamond is the ability of leadership to harmonize these four points of diamond. The management systems are the primary shapers of employees' values and beliefs about operations and goals of the organization. The best leaders are participative leaders who participate in the process with a calm, pleasant, and out-going attitude. A good leader should understand high self-regards that virtually everyone has for himself or herself. In order to be a good leader; be a good listener, be a role model, assign responsibility with the authority, be a good coach, be a good motivator, involve employees...

...Team background: ‘Loyola Lions’ is the school cricket team of, St. Xavier’s High School Loyola Hall, a popular school in Ahmedabad, India. The school participates in various sports events in the city. Mr. Lalit Modi coaches Loyola Lions. The team is on a winning streak lately and is considered among the top school cricket teams in the city. Example: The team is playing in the finals of the inter school cricket tournament. The opening batsman is injured, so the coach pulls up a substitute at the last moment and says to him, “You better play your best. If the team loses, you’re out. Now go and win the match”. The substitute is visibly nervous and replies “ok”. Leadership style: From the above example I conclude that the coach is a low-LPC task-oriented leader, whose main objective is the successful completion of the task at hand. He is unable to change his behavior and leadership style according to the situation. His initiating behavior is useful and somewhat preferred during coaching sessions, to bring out the best in the players. But, to use the same behavior on a substitute player, who has only played during coaching sessions, and that also, during an important match is uncalled for. That not only demotivates him but also puts unnecessary pressure on him, which affects his performance. The leader’s style does not agree with Fiedler’s theory and is totally uncalled for, in the given situation. Leadership situation classification: * Leader/member relation is good...

...[pic] Lagaan: A PathGoal Theory CaseStudy of the Film Each leadership case study is meant to simulate real life. In real leadership situations, we have to use all the known facts to make the best decision possible. There is never a guarantee of the outcome. Leaders have to become comfortable with uncertainty. The value of this kind of case study discussion is in the discussion and interaction it generates. If the case study leads you to a discussion of your own organization when people see similarities with the case study, then learning is taking place. Such open discussion helps supervisors to better understand leadership best practices and helps them to all align their own styles with the culture and values of their organization. INTRODUCTION The quest of knowledge should be more than just books and schools. Cinema has become an integral part of lour lives and has shaped public opinion on many subjects. Cinema has an instant, powerful and long – lasting impact over human mind. Apart from sheer entertainment some movies convey social messages which are in the interest of the people. Of late, a few movies like Lagaan, Chak De and Lage Raho Munnabhai also find place in the management books, which have given a new dimension to Indian cinema. INSIGHT INTO THE MOVIE Many films that convey social messages are dismissed as critically acclaimed films, but Lagaan has stood out because of many factors. The movie is about Bhuvan and his team, who against all odds...

...THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP IN SPORTS Coaches as the most important success factors utilize different leadership styles in orienting sport teams. If we consider sport teams as an organization and its members as the staff of an organization, in that case, the coaches play the role of managers and orient a team. Furthermore, one of their duties besides planning is to deploy players and control their performance and perform leadership. Confirming this ideal, Chelladurai (2001) and Kolaric, (2005) believe that coaches play the role of managers and they are supposed to do similar duties as managers do. The style which is displayed by coaches in leadership; according to most of researchers performed on effective coaches indicate the rate of their influence on performance, behaviour and ideal psychological performance (such as motivation, satisfaction and commitment) of sportsmen on one side and team integration on the other. Being an athlete most of my life I have been exposed to many transactional leaders in the form of coaches. The best example would be my current cricket coach because he relies on small goals to achieve a larger goal, top the national south championship. As the coach his role as a leader was to push us to our limits and slightly beyond, and he achieved this phenomenon by forcing us to set short and long term goals individually as well as for the team. By having individuals write down our personal goals my coach could hold us accountable...

...Case Study Guru Greg and Indian Cricket Team Phase I In the year 2000, Ganguly stood up as a leader and accepted to become the captain of the Indian cricket team w the team was new. At that time, no one was ready to become the captain because the team was under the pres of match-fixing allegations. It was a difficult time, and the wrong man in the captain's position might have ruined the Indian cricket to an extent that it might never have recovered. Ganguly was the man who gave the power and confidence to the team, which was instrumental in cricket team winning many series outside India like: reaching ICC Mini World Cup final, Natwest series, Australia test series, first series wins in both tests and GDIs in Pakistan, a feat that had eluded India for ov years and took unfancied India to runner-up position in World Cup 2003. Ganguly led India in a record 49 Tests, winning 21 including 12 outside India— all the three figures arc recon for Indian Test captains. He also led India to more Test wins (II) outside India between 2000 and 2005 than all Indian captains had done between 1980 and 2000. He led India to victory over Australia in the 2001 Border-Gavaskar trophy— a feat considered one of the greatest in the Indian cricket history. Ganguly was aggressive by nature and that made team more aggressive and strong. He was the first-ever Indian captain who created a confidence in the team to win overseas. It was under his captaincy that India started winning matches...

...project from 4 topics that were given to the student by our instructor to choose from. This project is very interesting where we have to shadow a leader for 10 hours to know about his leadership style. I shadowed Sam Shah for 10 hours. He is a realtor at RE/MAX by profession. I have seen how he led our community since last 8 years. He is a very energetic leader and always supports our community. Every year Sam and his team organises Navratri Festival in Edmonton which is generally for 5-6 nights (4-5 hours per night). Navratri is a Hindu festival of worship and dance which is generally for straight 9 nights but in Canada people only organise for 5-6 nights (Fri, Sat & Sun) for two weekends due to lack of time on weekdays. Sam is one of the senior committee member of Alberta Gujarati Association. He is very selfless and dedicate most of his time for organising this event compare to other members. Besides organising Navratri Festival, he also organises sports events and picnics. He has some sort of power in his personality which motivates others to join him. He also has his own cricket club with 35 members who plays in Edmonton District & Cricket league during spring and summer season. I have seen him leading his cricket team to the finals for straight years. So based on seeing all his work and leadership in our community I decided to shadow him for 10 hours.

...(Assistant Professor FAST School of Management, Islamabad, Pakistan). Case study refers to learning purposes only. Cases in management Dated: 25/05/2015 “Pakistan Cricket Board; from Free Fall to the Downfall” Sharyar Khan, the 31st and the second time elected Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board since its formation, was in stress the night before the first T20 match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe. After the final visit to the Qaddafi stadium to ensure the arrangements for the match, he sat down on the corner of the stadium to give few thoughts on the emplaced challenges. More than 30,000 spectators will watch the match tomorrow. The passion of cricket in Pakistan is not only commendable but also at times terrifying for the management. Winning the series against the Zimbabwe at the home ground was not the only challenge. Reactive violence from the die heart cricket fans on a loss, media criticism, organizational mafia, terrorism, political pressures and poor team performances were the hard blocks hanging up on his shoulders. Since 1992, when Pakistan became the World Champion, the nation desperately wants to uphold that title again for the country. Keeping in view the performance of the team in 2015 world cup and in their tour to Bangladesh recently, nation has almost lost their hopes in the national cricket team. The open and clear political interference in appointing PCB Chairman in 2014 backed by massive media criticism was the cherry on the top for the nation to...

...I am a clear headed, ambitious individual who has taken the time to think about my future and my goals. I have undertaken and completed my first degree in four years in psychology normal three or four year programmes. Doing a two year course instead of a three year course has required me to continually focus, and focus more and more as the course has developed. Doing an accelerated degree has given me the advantage of continuing on to a further education, as if I had undertaken a conventional three or four year degree, I may not have considered continuing on to a masters course as seriously I have done now I did my degree as I am the only member of my family to go to university and complete a degree, which motivated me to work harder and made me proud. I chose Business Management as a general degree, which gave me the opportunity to learn and test all aspects of Management and Business so I knew what I wanted to specialise in Information Systems was one of my modules which I thoroughly enjoyed and found very interesting and I saw it as a subject which I want to learn more about and to a much higher level. One of the reasons that I want to move to a further degree is that I have enjoyed the whole learning aspect of my current degree, it has helped me see that learning is a never ending activity. Wherever I may be, in an institute of education or in my workplace, I will be continually learning. My degree has opened me up to so many aspects of learning, not just being taught, but...

...coincides with the population growth. Women have played a crucial role in the development of Trinidad and Tobago both in historical times and present day. There is a saying “besides a man there is a good women standing” I interpret this as meaning society cannot function with one gender but rather both genders are required to achieve development and growth. In Trinidad and Tobago women have contributed positively in the areas of sports, culture, education, family life, leadership and politics and continue to do so for the greater good of the country. Women in the field of sports have also impacted on the development of Trinidad and Tobago. Any country that supports and promotes a woman in sports has already showed great development in nation building. In the past suppression of women was rampant and her role was mainly seen as a housewife. Men dominated sporting activities while the women were on the sidelines. In 1973 the Trinidad and Tobago women’s cricket team appeared in the first women’s cricket world cup where they finished fifth out of seven teams. But they were not recognized and compensated as is being done today for other athletes. So, one can clearly see how much changes has occurred and how the country has developed towards women in the field of sports. Today, sports can be found in every primary and secondary school including tertiary level institutions used as a developmental tool for the overall molding of our nation’s children. Parents are now encouraging...
