Every band or group needs a leader to oversee and represent it. This doesn’t mean that whoever takes this role is the smartest member, the best musician, or the most dynamic of the group. But he/she must be a person with good organizational skills, a sharp understanding of the business, and a personality that is easy to get along with. The leader also has to be a person with thick skin because he is responsible for “everything”, so when push comes to shove he has the most to lose! The Bible says that “without a vision, the people perish.” I’d like to paraphrase that and say “without a leader, the group dies.” Everyone wants to be the chief from time to time, but over the long haul the leader of any organization or group needs certain attributes that give him or her leadership prerogative. Before you begin the arduous task of “leading” ask yourself a few questions.
1. Why do you want to be the leader?
2. What is your TRUE motivation?
3. Are you prepared to accept all the risks?
4. What is it about “responsibility” that motivates you?
