Management Lessons from Motion Picture 'Sarkar'

- by Neha Gupta *

Page - 2

The enemies of Sarkar, a.k.a., Subhash Nagre - Rashid, Vishram, Mani, and a Chandraswami look alike swami - design a two-fold plan. They bump-off Minister Idealistic Khurana (a wonderful cameo played by Anupam Kher) and the blame falls on Sarkar. An
attack in prison is foiled by Shankar and soon Sarkar is released on bail. The adversaries now decide to unleash Vishnu on his father. Shankar spoils the party this time also. It's payback time and one-by-one all the evil-doers are eliminated from the face of the earth. Sarkar retires and looks over the balcony with grand-child in arms. Shankar is the new Sarkar. The legacy continues...

Analysis of the Movie

Style of Leadership

In the movie, Sarkar has shown different styles of leadership with different stills, like: -

  • Concern for People: In this style, leaders look upon their followers as their people - their needs, interests, problems, development, and so on. They are not simply units of production or means to an end. This is shown when 'Sarkar' rejects deals for personal benefit.

  • Directive Leadership: This style is characterized by leaders taking decisions for others - and expecting followers or subordinates to follow instructions. At the times, when 'Sarkar' gives different orders to his subordinates, this style is shown.

  • Participative Leadership: Here leaders try to share decision-making with others (Wright 1996, 36-7). This style can be observed when 'Sarkar' asks his subordinates what to do next.

  • Democratic Leadership: 'Sarkar' is patient listener, collaborator, influential and a team-leader. He very well realizes the challenges facing him.

  • Visionary Leadership: 'Sarkar' sometimes shows this style's traits too. Like when he simply believes his own vision and changes according to the situation, when his close people like Chief Minister conspire against him.

  • Transformational Leadership: For Shankar, this was the appropriate style. He was not a born leader as his father Subhash Nagare, but situation made him so.

    • "Leadership is not magnetic personality - that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people' - that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."
