Delegation and Empowerment are very different where delegation is aligning them to do your job and empowering is aligning them to do their jobs. Leaders like people doing their jobs rather than people doing their jobs because of their matter of insecurities. The chairs, positions, corner rooms, first-class travel we keep on pushing below and people to work under us and listen to our orders. Success in any field is more when more empowering is done instead of delegation. Paulo Coelho mirror test said Eyes is d mirror to the soul.

People with strong emotions have two sides - victory and defeat. Author Sunil Gupta in his book "Final Innings" gives a broader idea of an individual, team and leader. These three steps are based on human endeavour. On this simple three-step ladder, we can easily climb up. New day, new event, new challenge help in enhancing the abilities a person has.

He has chosen Cricket game as the medium of the message. People succeed with the best of their ability. Some from good to great and some determinedly take the opposite part. With the same field, same resources, same technology some succeed, some failed. The protagonist in the book requires talent, technique and temperament.The 3rd temperament makes a winner as it triggers the action to be achieved sooner. Cricket teams should follow the team before self and that’s the starting of a world-class team.

Individual team and leadership - can be understood by an example of conquering West Indies Cricket team. The players on this composite team are selected from 15 different countries to perform on a single ground.Binding players in the same city will remember what they did. A leader performs work with dedication and focus. Corporate work-life cricket game can’t be clubbed together. What makes a good leader is not being delegated but empowering others.
