Effective Leadership in Leon Band

Leadership Essay
Leadership is defined as ‘the process in which an individual influences the group of individuals to attain a common goal’. The goal is attained by mutual cooperation and cohesive behavior. A leader infuses a sense of positivity and directs others to reach the specified goal. Therefore for a person to be a successful leader they need to work hard to accomplish their goal and influence others to do the same. For greatest success and communication with their hierarchy they must be trustworthy and responsible. In addition, the person needs to be nice and approachable so that they can interact with others and are as approachable as possible. Although a leader must be approachable they still need to discipline their group or section in appropriate ways so that they may show respect and pride for the band. Outside of the marching field or classroom a leader needs to maintain integrity, work hard, stay away from bad habits and represent themselves and Leon Band to the best of their ability.
In my opinion, I was a successful leader this year and I qualify again this year. During the whole year I worked hard in my position as a leader and had the motivation to continue pushing myself to reach perfection. Also, during marching season I maintained a positive attitude and pushed my section to be the best group that they can be in marching band. I practiced my music and marching outside of rehearsals so that we could spend more learning time as a whole; along with this I encouraged my section to do the same and ensured that they were achieving at a higher level each practice. When it came time to do pass-offs I was the person that new their part. Whenever, others were nervous to do pass- offs, needed reassurance during practicing or needed the extra push be successful I was there every day helping them: during lunch, after school, on the weekends and even on the phone. I would work hard to stand up and help to the best of my ability even
