by Tim Lautzenheiser
continued from Selection and Development: Effective Student Leaders
How many times have we heard the haunting phrase, "You are either part of the problem or you are part of the solution." In choosing our student leaders, it is vitally important to select exemplary role models who are solution-oriented, rather than problem-plagued... << MORE >>

PART 4: Choosing Leaders: Maturity is the Key
by Tim Lautzenheiser
continued from Selection and Development: Effective Student Leaders
After studying and working with countless student leaders over the years, it is clearly apparent; "some students are ready for the extra responsibilities student leadership requires and many are not."

PART 3: The Personal Values of a Student Leader
by Tim Lautzenheiser
continued from Selection and Development: Effective Student Leaders
Do we properly prepare our students for “what lies ahead” when they choose to become student leaders? Or do we simply (and randomly) pick this-or-that person to fill the given position?

The strong-armed approach to leadership success has given-way to the concept of allowing the follower to become an invested contributor to the overall mission.

PART 1: Character Traits of a Student Leader
by Tim Lautzenheiser
continued from Selection and Development: Effective Student Leaders
Student leaders are no longer a luxury in our educational world, but rather a necessity, particularly in the field of music. Any successful ensemble is made up of a strong director and a committed group of responsible and dedicated student leaders. We count on these extraordinary young people to offer their time and energy in the ongoing growth and development of our programs; without them, much of the daily work simply will not be completed...<< MORE >>
