Metaphor of Leadership...

The feeling that I get from leading others is one unlike any other. It is very similar to the feeling I get when I am practicing my violin. The natural drive that I have to succeed in it comes within and when I do succeed, I know that my hard work has paid off. Practicing the violin can also be similar to practicing my leadership skills. There are many tricks and techniques that I have learned from those much older and wiser than me. In leadership, I constantly find myself in workshops and seminars on tricks to becoming a great leader. I will use these tips to "practice and polish" my performance as a leader to be the absolute  best I can be at something. For example, when practicing a very difficult place in a piece of music, I am taught to slow it down, change the pace, alter the tempo or change the rhythm. The results being that when you go back to play it correctly, it is almost perfect. This is the same for leadership. We are often taught to change our ideas or perspective on a situation and in the end, it all works out for the best. These tricks are ultimately what has made me so successful in my career as a violinist and they are also what will help me to successful in my leadership opportunities.
