Thank you We speak leadership and extracurricular activities Allah shmoop

00:08

ah capella there's Nothing cooler than four part harmonies and

00:13

synchronized dancing Right Okay maybe not everyone will agree with

00:16

that concept But you and your ragtag crew of singers

00:19

sure do And this year you have been picked to

00:22

lead your group This is no laughing matter You've made

00:25

state finals for the past three years If you fail

00:29

you'll be in some pretty serious trouble Trouble But how

00:33

hard can leading be Alright Will you show up to

00:36

every rehearsal You make sure everyone else shows up and

00:39

you run through the music and choreography And on the

00:41

day of competition you step onto the stage on dh

00:47

Well look on the bright side It could have been

00:49

worse Well sorry shouldn't have said it So what went

00:53

wrong Well we might have a few notes to give

00:56

Let's take a look at what you did You showed

00:59

up to every rehearsal but did you actually do a

01:01

good job leading during the reversals And yeah you made

01:05

sure everyone else was there on time But did you

01:08

make sure they were there on time Mentally with music

01:12

In hand Like focused Okay Well oh for two Did

01:16

you at least teach the choreography Uh well that's one

01:20

method Well being a leader is easy it's A lot

01:23

of stress for a little recognition And don't be surprised

01:26

if you look in the mirror and see a this

01:29

staring back Yeah there's a reason why presidents end up

01:32

with some pretty grim ba fours and after But if

01:35

you still think leading your extra curricular is for you

01:39

Well there are a few things you gotta know leading

01:41

your peers is hard You don't have the same command

01:43

over a room that your teacher would so they're far

01:45

more likely to goof off and ignore the work that

01:48

needs to be done Make it known from the start

01:50

that you're serious about your activity Lay down some ground

01:53

rules that way if anyone's giving you trouble you'll have

01:55

the right to ask him to leave and you'll have

01:57

the support of your peers and doing so And even

01:59

though leading a group of you your friends is hard

02:01

they're still gonna look to you for guidance That means

02:05

being organized and having top notch time management skills You

02:08

need to start endure activity on time and make sure

02:11

everyone has the material they need from the get go

02:14

And when it comes down to it you need to

02:16

know what you're talking about You could be off the

02:18

charts charismatic but if you don't know how to teach

02:20

music well yeah that happens before you step up to

02:24

the plate Make sure you know what you're doing Remember

02:26

the end of the day You're the person who decides

02:29

whether your group sores or falls a flat can you

02:33

thought we were gonna tone down the music puns Uh 00:02:36.74 --> [endTime] one more for good measure score
