Mahendra Singh Dhoni's sensational statement after being out of the play-offs in IPL, When you fail….

Legendary Indian wicketkeeper-batsman and former captain MS Dhoni has earned praise from all for his calm temperament and brilliant captaincy. Dhoni said that a captain leads by example, how he moves and talks and acts in the moment. He earns the respect of that moment. The 42-year-old Dhoni is one of the greatest captains in the history of cricket. He is the first captain to win all ICC white-ball trophies, ICC T20 World Cup, ICC World Cup 2011 and ICC Champions Trophy 2000. Known as 'Captain Cool', Dhoni has also led CSK to five IPL and 2 Champions League titles.

You lead by example through ups and downs

You lead by example through ups and downs because when you're successful it's very easy to say that's what we do. But when times are tough, times are real. You have to walk him through the motions. If you are also in those stages then with time you earn respect. In the video posted by DubaiEye 103.8 YouTube channel, MS Dhoni said that in the entire season, Dhoni has scored 220 runs in 11 innings of 14 matches at a strike rate of 54 and an average of 53.67.

Need to gain the respect of those one leads

The important thing is that you need to gain the respect of the people you lead. You cannot demand or command respect, it has to be earned. I can have a position in the institute and it should be respected. But I also need to earn respect from the person sitting on that chair. I can't say that you need to respect me because I am sitting on this chair.
