Good article from economic times:
Team Man
Dravid, who did everything asked of him, was the quintessential team man.
Takeaway
If you have team’s interests, your peers will respect you for what you are and you will grow with your team.
Talent Minus Attitude
Dravid, superbly talented, never had an attitude. That’s why perhaps he had such a long and illustrious career.
Takeaway
Talent doesn’t justify brash behaviour with colleagues and/or customers . Without an attitude you are valuable for longer.
Personal Values
Dravid’s integrity and behaviour, on and off the field, were irreproachable.
Takeaway
Great performers lose their way because of personal failings. Ethics and values are a must for longterm success.
Work Ethic
Dravid gave 100% every time he stepped on the field. He did his homework.
Takeaway
Want to excel? Work hard at being ready. Motivate yourself.
Patience
Patience and temperament are the greatest allies for a Test match batsman and Dravid had them in abundance.
Takeaway
Getting swayed by quarterly results is a rash shot. Don’t sacrifice longterm goals for quarter-on-quarter glory.
Conformist
Dravid played by the rules. That worked for him as a player, but not as a leader. He probably lacked the X factor.
Takeaway
When you pick corporate leaders, look beyond talent and performance . A magnificent performer, a great team man, a fine human being may not make a good leader.
