As an artist who is leading your band and team, it’s vital that you learn how to express what it is you need.
You finally get that meeting with the label, manager, agent you love…so what do you do? You talk on and on about how great you are and how well things are going and growing. So why do you need the label?
You express your leadership, confidence and strong culture by effectively expressing what you need and what you can offer…not by touting all your fantastic statistics.
“If someone is boasting, they’re usually losing”- Bob Lefsetz
It takes guts, insight, strategy, generosity and courage to express needs in a way that inspires others to meet them by taking action.
But you first need to be incredibly clear with yourself and your team about what you need and how fulfilling that need benefits the other person.
Growing this skill (skills) will grow your success.
I’m always interested in your perspective, whether affirming or dissenting. Continue the conversation anytime: gabethebassplayer@gmail.com
