The leader in the documentary is Girija, and she is among the
gurus of Indian classical music. The 7Cs that the leader
embodies are common purpose, controversy with civility,
commitment, collaboration, consciousness of self, congruence,
and citizenship. All these qualities are observed in her style of
presentation.
Consciousness of self- Girija express this by being precise
while introducing herself and her background with music
(Conole,2014). She is collaborative and had a common purpose
with the people who taught her traditional music as she was
growing up (Conole,2014). Controversy with civility-she uses
modern platform to train the younger generation on Indian
classicals that were only played in traditional events.
Commitment- Girija consistently shows up to train and repeats
the musicals until her students understand how to play them.
Collaboration -works with other professionals to train the
younger people and even interested older people. Congruence-
she balances her life even as she interacts with everyone
involved in mentoring her.

Citizenship -the service issue that I have selected is working
with children by passing down the values of the community to
them in order for them to preserve the culture. In this stance,
the tradition being taught is Indian classical music. The need of
the community that was being addressed was protecting the
traditional music from being eroded which protects citizenship.
Traditional music creates a sense of belonging and preserves

will be sufficient to ensure that the traditional music does not
lose its value. For instance ,music production would include
having new records which incorporate traditional musicals. This
will serve a common purpose of preserving the traditional
music. An example is the song “waka waka’ by Shakira during a
world cup was not originally hers but was an African traditional
song for soldiers , by having a modern version of the song ,it
has enabled the original version to be remembered. If the same
concept is applied on the Indian classicals it would
The record-keeping approach will ensure there is commitment
in preserving the music and it will prevent the classicals from
being lost over the years. In fact record keeping will be a
reference point for anyone who would wish to access the
classicals. Making the records available and accessible will aid
in reaching a larger audience which would guarantee
consciousness of self because it will narrow down to individual
interaction with the Indian classicals.. The resource needed to
make change happen is money to facilitate production of more
copies and purchase of materials. Old is gold and the Indian
classicals are a treasure for the people of India and worth
sharing with the world, to ensure diversity is embraced.
