Great article. I can’t count the number of managers I’ve had that said one thing, but did another. It doesn’t lend them much credence.

iWalk: That sure is part of the intent, and thanks for the support. Sending the messages as directly as possible saves everyone’s time.

umbultech: I am glad to hear of this as well. I like to hear that one enjoys the material, and also that they think about it or make use of it at times.

I must say that I support all of the quality material that you all, Armen, Corey and Mike, have been producing. I am glad that my post somehow connected to your own thoughts and experiences and it is great to see that you can build from them.

Mike: You definitely went to the crux of my post, humble leadership is necessary in order to gain the trust and respect of your supporters.

Corey: You gave two great examples of exactly the types of things I was referring to. I enjoyed reading about your experiences with this topic and am enthused to see that you are an advocate of this type of leadership as well.

Armen: What more can I say, those that are great tend to surround themselves with positive influences. Mike and Corey are a testament to your quality material.

It is energizing to know that fellow leaders find my post insightful or at least agreeable…Thanks

Mike: Thanks for that sir. Adding Nick’s material to the region of display was what we might call an insta-decision.

Corey: I would say that your fellow trumpet players require a sign of advancement on your part in order to understand that listening to you would probably be a good idea. This makes sense from the point of view of each person, as they look to improve at any opportunity.
Also, that freshman that you took with you will remember you a myriad of times for your assistance.

Very nice article!

I definitely think that leading by example is, at times, the only way to get your point across. I’m constantly confronted by the members of my section (trumpet section) and the only way to get them to back down is to show them how skilled I am. I’m not advocating showing off, however, as that also produces a negative effect. You need to find the perfect balance of composed skill and humility that will really get across an air of professionalism and leadership.

Remember that in your own sense of leadership, you are also training future leaders. I recently took a freshman with me to tutor young musicians at the middle school. My intention was to show her how to work with and teach the people who will be in her section when she’s older. A way to lead by example is also to teach others how to lead.

Great article and tips on smart leadership Nicholas. I love the whole idea about humble leadership which fits in with the points you opened with about not being pushy and overbearing at all with a leadership position.

Great inclusion on your site as well Armen!

Nick, your article and comment here are reasons why an individual such as yourself is well suited for presentation of ideas to the public. Readers would do well to seek out writings from individuals with qualities that you exemplify.
