What Can Future Executives Learn From Adam Gilchrist?

I have been a crazy fan of the game of Cricket since my childhood. Encouraged by my father who introduced me to the game, many instances in the game have been lifelong lessons that I still continue to imbibe in my life. From the centuries of Sachin Tendulkar to the fiery spells of Brett Lee, each of them had a lesson to offer. But, one of those that stands out to this day is one that I learnt from Adam Gilchrist. This acrobatic wicket-keeper who doubled as an explosive opening batsman belonged to a generation of Australian players who were infamous for the myriad of controversies they were involved in. But, he stood out of all of them. In a pack of wolves, he seemed to exude the calmness of a monk and above all highest levels of integrity and sportsmanship.

Wolf Of Print Street: Starting A Company Before An MBA

You will find myths abound regarding entrepreneurship. A sagely elder might tell you that it is all about the passion you bring to the game, someone else will attribute it to answering one’s calling in life and others will glorify the need to fail in order to grow. In my experience, entrepreneurship does not lend itself to such simple generalizations as the above. It has a special meaning for every individual; to me, it was about connecting dots, dots that I saw around me that were waiting to be connected. Providing answers to needs that are concurrent with each other as well as within the limits of one’s skill set.
