Planning:-
 Bhuvan explained his community clearly that they should be able to achieve their
goal, they achieve a peaceful and blissful life for 3 years without any tax.
 Bhuvan maintained order in the team by careful selection and training of his team
members.
 On the exposure of Lakha’s deceit he did well to bring order back in the team as well
as in the village.

Organizing:-
 Bhuvan provided good leadership and hence received complete allegiance and
obedience from his team members. Bhuvan also inculcated discipline through
vigorous training, which used to take place during night as well.
 Bhuvan inspired his team members to see that the goal of the community was
paramount, which was reflected by his team members too. Never in his action did
Bhuvan put himself before the dreams of the community.
 Bhuvan personified kindness and justice when he drafted Kachra to join the team
purely on basis of his skills and potential.

Leading:-
 Bhuvan maintained an authority over the team. However, he ensured that there was
no loss of communication within the team and everyone felt equally responsible for
the achievement of the goals.
  Bhuvan had clear authority over others and played the key role in deciding his team
members and structure of the team. For eg:- Bhuvan displayed his authority while
deciding to recruit Kachra, in spite of opposition from other team members.
 All team members had just one supervisor and there was no conflict of command.
Unanimously team members had accepted Bhuvan as their leader and concurred
with his decisions.

Controlling:-
 Bhuvan’s team members had the same set of activities underlying a common
objective. When Bhuvan felt that his team members were losing sight of the
objective, he reiterated that the objective was not to win or lose a game, but to win
the battle against the British’s tyranny.
 Bhuvan ensured that his team members specialized in certain aspects and
continuously improved their skills in that aspect. For eg: - Goli was specialized in
bowling.
 Bhuvan expressed stability and security to Lakha, which resulted in his high
performance during the fag end of the movie. Also, inspite of the weaknesses of
other players like Ishwar and Bagha, he always encouraged and supported them.
