Someone once said that leadership of a group of people is like knocking cats. In my experience, the orchestra's leadership is like a thousand wild and torturing cats. One has to worry about finance, promoting the band, presenting shows, and managing relationships between members. And all this even if we take into account the extra responsibility of musicians if the conductor is also a member of the band.
Financial management is what most indie bands forget, but it is probably the only key skill. Everything around the money; goods, pay for concerts, recording, etc. If the right person handles the money, even if it is not the main "band leader", it's the most important thing for the band's long-term success. It would be a great inconvenience to travel to a distant concert and need urgent purchase only to find out if the band's bank account is over! Even if it's not good with numbers, but still handles the money, there are plenty of software tools to help track your purchases and revenue for the band.
Many orchestras simply promote presentations as they are created, but an effective music manager will have long and short term action plans for promotional purposes. This can mean timing interviews with radio stations or magazines, organizing performances for fans, or preparing for prints and demo CDS to launch a fan base for shows on new markets. With the launch of the internet, Twitter and Facebook, promotional tasks can be greatly facilitated, but there are several LOT bands in the method. It is extremely important that the promotional material is fresh and unique so that it stands out from the crowd.
Booking demos may be easy and rewarding, or just because you are absolutely required. The simplest solution is effective contact management. Many connectivity programs also allow you to search geographically so you can easily make booking concerts because you can "search nearby". Another thing in Incorporate is a simple booking agreement. Booking agreements will protect you from ruthless installations that may try not to pay or duplicate the performers (both of which happened personally to me). It provides a specific agreement that can be enforced by law if things are to be considered.
Bands always have internal dramas, regardless of whether someone has their own practice or something someone has said to others. It's a manager's job to make everyone happy not to quit, but it is not his job to be a parent. Sometimes you have to let go of some things for yourself. If, however, the situation seems to affect the well-being of the whole orchestra, it is time to move and take control, doing everything to improve the situation. Just be careful and be careful not to implicitly take part; simply act as an intermediary. That's why you want to build people who trust you to solve problems and not be a bad boy (even if your page).
An independent guitar band might be great if the band members lead. However, it is important to remember that the great importance of great music is paramount. When treatment issues start to disturb you, you should start looking around for a real manager to start the process of buying a major labeling business!
