Leadership: Identifying Your Role in the Band

Posted by Nicki Peasley Share Your Voice

BOUNCE invites you to view leadership through the lens of music—the universal language.

Listed below are leadership roles that are essential to any band.  In our lives we play in many bands.  With what leadership role do you most identify?

 

The songwriter identifies the issue or theme and uses pen and heart to explore it.

The pianist sets the melody and the tone of the group dynamic.

The bass guitarist ignites the group’s passion and nurtures a common bond, encouraging others to think and feel deeply.

The drummer provides background beat, allowing others to shine until it’s his turn to explode with brilliance. 

The singer is the star, charismatic and cool.  She is the commander of the stage.

The stage hand takes care of all the details behind the scenes—tuning instruments, keeping things flowing in a timely manner, making sure everyone is happy. 

The manager oversees the group’s progress and productivity, promoting accountability and success.

The music critic is essential to progress as she identifies what’s working and what isn’t.

She might offer a valuable new lens through which to view the issue at hand.

The fan takes the music to the streets, spreading the message with quiet, yet bold intention
