Leadership 101
Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2009 10:45 am
Hey everyone!
So looks like this forum is being used primarily as a way for us to review drum major competitions. This is perfectly fine and there's nothing wrong with that. And its also true that people who are Drum Majors can often be referred to as leaders, which is why it ends up in this forum instead of Marching Band forums.
But I'd like to make this forum a bit more active on the leadership side of things. Every week or so, I'd like to post a new topic in a sticky that covers some aspect of leadership, and allow anyone who is interested a chance to post their thoughts and responses. The goal is to create a forum where you can develop into a stronger leader, or for you to just have a conversation about leadership. You can put in as much as you want or as little as you want, but I would urge everyone to get involved.
Some of you may already be familiar with the topics I'll be bringing up, or things similar to them. If you are, please feel free to contribute!
I've put together a list of some of the first topics as they pertain to leadership that I'd like to go over. I'll post the first thread in a few days.
1. Personalities
2. The Lid
3. Influence
4. Process
5. Navigation
6. Learning In Action
I think with those things we'll be able to get some good conversation stirring up in this forum.
And as always, you're welcome to bring up any questions, topics, or issues that you want to. Lets be supportive of each other!
