Take correction like a musician
You already know how to receive feedback: it happens every rehearsal when the conductor stops and fixes something. Leadership uses the same muscle. When an adult leader, or even a peer, points out something you got wrong, the mature response is “thank you, I’ll work on that,” not a defence. Getting corrected is not a sign you are failing; it is how everyone who is any good got good.
Paul wrote, “in humility value others above yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). For a leader that means holding your role loosely, admitting when you do not know, and being quick to say sorry. None of that makes you look weak. It makes you safe to follow.
Keep asking for help
What helps: find one adult leader you trust and treat them as your coach. Ask them how you are going and what you could do better. Ask other members what they need from you. Write down one thing you want to grow in this term. Leaders who keep asking “how can I do this better?” keep getting better, and the people around them relax, because they can tell you are still learning alongside them rather than pretending to have it all sorted.
