BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly, who is also regarded as one of India's finest skippers of all time shared a few interesting insights on some major qualities which helped him become a dynamic and charismatic leader in his highly successful captaincy stint.

Ganguly highlighted the fact  that the best leaders learn from their own mistakes and never let failure stop them from moving forward in life.

Ganguly took over the Indian skipper when Indian cricket were a dominant force at home but did not fare too well abroad. At the cusp of the new millennium after the match fixing fiasco, Ganguly ushered in a new era, grooming new youngsters, infusing confidence and building a formidable team which went to attain lofty heights.

Ganguly also feels that trying to change Rahul Dravid into Yuvraj Singh or vice-versa can turn out to be a disaster." Adaptability is one of the key leadership qualities. A leader should tap the natural talents of the team members. You cannot make Rahul Dravid act like Yuvraj or make Yuvraj be Rahul Dravid," Sourav Ganguly said on Unacademy while talking about leadership.

Current BCCI president also believes that being able to adapt to changes is among the key qualities of being a leader.

"The greatest of the leaders make mistakes, but as long as the intentions are right, everything else will fall into place. You should learn from your own mistakes and leave them behind to be a better version of yourself. Don't let your losses get you down, that's a part of growing up. Learning from failures will lead you to success," he added.
