2. Welcome back! • Fire Up for the 91st season! • Remembering from July: • Global expectations (music & marching fundamentals) • Attitude of Excellence – beginning day 1 • Working Collaboratively • Building trust – 5 Dysfunctions • Parking Lot • Friday Objective: • To better gain an understanding of how we define leadership by looking at other theories, discussing experiences, and begin working on our vision for 2013.

3. Definitions of Leadership  Leadership has been described as “a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and peer support of others in the accomplishment of a common project".

4. Leadership Theories There are multiple types, approaches, and ideas to leadership in which shows that there isn’t just “one way” to “do” leadership. Style Approach

5. Leadership Styles

6. Servant Leadership

7. And there are plenty more! • DiSC Leadership Style assessment , which we have taken on as a band, has a Servant Leader focus. • We can further explore what our leadership definition is through exploration and activities….

8. Play-Doh Gallery • Take some time to create/represent what leadership means to you. • Those who did this last year may have new ideas or different ways of representing leadership.

9. Leader - Defined • Let’s discuss and share our views, our experiences, and our definitions. • Please take some time to pinpoint keywords you think define a leader (or leadership) to you AND what/whom you consider to “be” a leader and “not” a leader (pgs 14 & 15).

10. Personal Best Leadership Experiences • Each one of us has a “personal best” story that we’ve experienced at one time or another. Perhaps the time when you discovered your ability to lead, or even when you’ve learned a lot from a rather significant mistake. • It is often difficult for us to address our strengths and weaknesses and also acknowledge others’ strengths. • Take some time to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses. In what situations can doing so be helpful and/or difficult?

11. Leadership Defined • Individual Definition • Group Definition (this will tie in with our vision)

12. Job Description/Leadership Roles • Thoughts on the definitions of these roles? • Is there anything unclear or need to be added? • How do these roles support our global expectations and collective vision for The Chippewa Marching Band?
