Leadership and Bands
Everyone in the corporate world talks about how critical leadership is for the success of an organization.
People rarely talk about leadership in the context of a musical act.
I’m not talking about a Band Leader in the traditional sense, I’m talking about the leader of the commercial enterprise that is your band.
The leader is ultimately accountable for the success of the band.
She understands the vision and can rally people around it.
She knows that 4 or 5 heads are better than one and involves her band members in the decision-making process.
She embodies everything her band stands for and is willing to put her ego and personal agenda aside for the greater good of the enterprise.
She works hard to cultivate her leadership abilities knowing that effective leadership is a never-ending cycle of self-reflection, study and learning in action.
I can’t stress how important leadership is - think long and hard before you decide who will lead your band!
