Leadership Styles With The West Point Band

Army leaders are facing some tough challenges with their leadership for their Soldiers organizations, and garrison operations. Leaders have to redefine their leadership to improve their Soldiers and organizations. Army leaders has to develop their Soldiers though personal interactions at the squad, platoon and company levels. Leaders will develop their organization through guidance with support from their staffs that consist of subordinate Officers and Non-Commissioner Officers. Direct leadership and organizational leadership will have major roles in the progress of Soldiers, organizations and garrison operations.

Leadership development in the military is critical to its mission and objectives. Understanding and embracing leadership will foster an agile culture and facilitate attainment of strategic goals. People desire quality leadership to assist with achieving their goals, albeit personal or professional development. Having a clear vision and the motivation to perform at high-levels influences others to work synergistically together to achieve organizational goals. Insomuch, employees value being treated respectfully, fairly, and ethically. Leaders serve people best when they help them develop their own initiative and good judgment, enable them to grow, and help them become better contributors.

In a marching band, the idea is to utilize copious amounts of micro-organisms and turn them into a singular macro-organism. However, our voices do not become lost in the cacophony of noise, simply strengthened and enforced by the foundation that each section provides to make the larger creation- a show. My understanding of myself became clearer as I learned to give myself to a larger cause without losing myself among the chaos.

I want to be a drum major and squad leader for the 2018 season of marching band. I know I have the leadership qualities that are needed to fill these positions. The current leadership experience I have through band is being a previous squad leader, holding three band officer positions, and at times being the Symphonic Band clarinet section leader. Outside of band I am a member of the National Honors Society and am a mentor in MVP. I also frequently volunteer with programs that help children and I have been a preschool teacher in one program.

The President of the Student Council. The drum major of the marching band. The founder of the biggest club at school. All of these positions involve organizing, interacting with, and motivating a large amount of people and just scream “LEADERSHIP!” However, this wasn’t the right kind of leadership for me; I’m not the type to get up and speak in front of a big group of people or give grandiose motivational speeches, but I still wanted to be helpful to others nonetheless.

I had to get that audition, if I did I was in. Honor band always had at least one kid from our band in each section. All I had to do was get past Mr. Higgens. I had been stressing that whole week and now it was time. This year the clarinets would go before the saxophones. After everyone had played was when the audition sheets would be handed out. The clarinets played and it was clear who would be given a sheet and who would not. Then it was time for the saxophones, first chair went first as always, that meant I had less time to freak out. Before I knew it, it was my turn. I was just as nervous as I was last year, yes, I had improved but I still had an immense amount of self doubt. I pushed everything out of my mind and began. I got through smoothly, but of course it was hard to determine if I had done well since I was hard on myself. The rest of the saxophones played through and we all waited as our conductor jotted down notes. He picked up the honor sheets and began to pass them out. Only a couple of the clarinets were handed a sheet, he then turned to the saxophone section. He passed one to first chair, then there was a second in between that I swear lasted for hours, my heart seemed to drop but also was under attack at the same time. My mind went to chaos. “This is silly, I'm in sixth grade and stressing out over this?” “ Life will go on if I don't get it.” “ But if I don't I'll always remember.” “This stupid piece of

I have been involved with music my whole life. I started playing violin at the age of 8, and my passion for music has only grown bigger since. As a result, this has lead to many leadership opportunities and I believe that this will aid me in fulfilling the responsibilities as president. For example, I was concertmaster of the CPES Orchestra, the LRIS Orchestra, the MTMS Orchestra and the 2015 LLMEA Middle School Orchestra. These positions taught me not only how to be a leading figure in an orchestra, but also how to communicate with the director, my section, and the orchestra as a whole. Furthermore, I spent the last three years mentoring children in music within the Music For Everyone

On 26 OCT 16 SGT Fistrowicz conduct PRT for the Physical Training (PT) season, after the PT SGT Fistrowicz conduct a AAR to improve his next PT section. You said something that is not appropriate in the formation, I personally did not hear what you say but CPT Curry and CPT Lewis heard what you say and they believe your action is Disrespectful toward a Noncommissioned Officer.

I know some improvements needed for next year’s Cadet Corps leadership. First improvement is PT. We need to agree on stuff to do, If most of the class don't like it, then we shouldn't do it. But if most of the class agrees, then we should. I think this will help the flight and the group.

Throughout my high school years, I applied for three leadership positions within my band program. The positions were historian, clarinet section leader, and woodwind captain. The historian is responsible for compiling pictures and videos and then producing the end of the year video which is presented at the annual band banquet. One of my main goals was to make sure that everyone was included in the video. The creation of an annual band video is something that everyone looks forward to watching as the group laughs and cries together and enjoys all of the memorable moments. It is a sentimental piece of work that will be remembered for years to come. My positions as section leader and woodwind captain, however, provided me the opportunity to truly

Leadership roles and access to food and resources vary between different types of societies. Band societies, tribal societies and state societies have different economic and political structures.

I really loved this reading! I thought it was so interesting to think of leadership as jazz, especially thinking about the joys of watching a marching band. The article stated, “One band member out of uniform will compromise the effect.” I don’t know if I have ever thought about the precise effort that it takes for that marching band to be totally in sink. This gives me a better understanding of why pastoral leadership is so crucial to the church. “The skillful pastor leader plans, recruits, coordinates and leads the church in a carefully focused ‘march.’” Leadership as jazz is “responsible empowerment.” What troubles me in this model is “empowerment without a defining core is a recipe for disaster.” What makes me nervous about this

It was my freshman year in high-school, and it was the last term and semester of the school year. My English teacher at the time, Mrs. Lemaster, gave my class the last English project. She revealed to the class that we had a Romeo and Juliet project to attend to for the last weeks of school. Mrs. Lemaster handed out the assignment with options on the paper on what we could do. I ended up selecting the board assignment. My task with the board assignment was to decorate it and sway people to attend my Romeo and Juliet make-believe play. The reason why I chose this topic to talk about is because It was the end of the school, and I was at my wit’s end with the class. I didn’t have the grade that I wanted, so I told myself, “hey, you are going to

Great idea, Libby. I agree with you about the jazz concept. A leader of jazz band should know individuals and team, and plan to improvise among change and transitional situations. Personally, I like the Situational Leader® II model,which provides four styles of leadership, which support the four basic development levels. Leaders can use the appropriate leadership style to respond the needs of individuals and organization and the situations. Moreover, self-assessment and vulnerability are significant elements for being an effectiveness leader
