Marten's development
Mr_Rose:
What's this "so soon" bit people keep coming up with? How soon is soon? Marten's had enough time to mope, get back on an even keel, get embroiled in a doomed relationship with not!Dora, and go to space to hit on space!Faye since the breakup; not counting any time skips that's a couple months, easy. Meanwhile, Dora has been in therapy, gone on a date with her new business partner, dropped the ‘we're better off friends’ bomb on him, gone back to therapy, and just now gotten to a date with Tai.
Carl-E:
We used to speculate about the passage of comic time relative to real time. Cleqrly things move more slowly in comic time with the exception of time skips.
It's been well over 400 strips since the breakup - nearly two years, real time. Now, that's not nearly as long in comic time, but it has been a while. He may not be completely over the breakup (who ever is?), but certainly he's able to cope and move on. He's demonstrated this quite well, as the previous poster mentioned.

He needs a success in his life, and building a good band would be the best kind of success, the kind that comes from focused work. A "good band" means a skilled one: that's a success no matter how few shows they do. They have a chance now that Nat is gone.

Why exactly does he need to practice leadership? I mean, how would that help his situation?
Is it cold in here?:
It's a skill that any healthy human needs to be able to deploy at least occasionally and which would open up better jobs to him. It doesn't seem to be among his talents now.
Redball:
How can he wrangle three interns without learning at least a little about leadership?
