Bye Bye Bye featuring Erika Taylor Beck

What can "Boy Bands" teach us about leadership? They follow an established template of success. New leaders also need templates to be successful.

NSYNC’s 2000 hit, Bye Bye Bye, has been streamed over a billion times on Spotify. The late 90’s and early 2000’s saw a resurgence of the “Boy Band” – a term applied to vocal groups consisting of young men whose performances were marketed primarily to girls and young women. Boy Bands were often “created” rather than forming organically. The 60’s band The Monkees, is perhaps the first example. The template for success had already been established by New Kids on the Block in the early 90s. Backstreet Boys proved the template worked and NSYNC followed it, achieving similar success.

From The Monkees to Meneudo to K-Pop, history has shown that a solid, foundational, well-choregraphed template leads to success more often than simply “wingin’ it.” The same is true of leading people. But the disappointing reality for many first-time leaders is that they’re often expected to wing it and hope for success. Erika Taylor-Beck is on a mission to help leaders stop wingin’ it and start churning out success using tried and true methods.
