Leadership Lessons from Sunil Gavaskar
Gavaskar told us the story of when his uncle Madhav Mantri (who had played twice for India) was chief guest at a school function. The year was 1979, and by then, Sunil Gavaskar was idolized for his centuries and record breaking spree. The Principal of the school needed to introduce Madhav Mantri. So Mantri told the Principal, you need to ask the students, “who is your favorite cricketer”, and when they say “Gavaskar”, you just need to say “Madhav Mantri is his uncle.”
The Principal thought this was a good idea, and asked the students, “who is your favorite cricketer”? The students responded, “Kapil Dev”.
