LEADING:
THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE PLAN
LEADING is not just
- DELEGATING THE TASKS
- PUSHING PEOPLE TO WORK
- ENSURING THAT THE PLAN IS BEING
IMPLEMENTED NO MATTER WHAT
LEADING MEANS
1. SETTING THE MOST CONDUCIVE WORK
ATMOSPHERE
2. NURTURING THE PEOPLE AND THE
PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTATION
3. ABILITY TO SHIFT ROLES IF AND WHEN
NECESSARY (MICRO AND MACRO MANAGEMENT)
CONTROLLING
1. KNOWING THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT AND
ABILITY TO CHANGE COURSE IF NECESSARY
(Evaluation is the key to “control”)
2. CONFRONTING PROBLEM HEAD ON AND
LEARNING FROM IT
3. SETTING APPROPRIATE RULES AND
GUIDELINES
CONTROLLING DOES NOT MEAN POWER
OR MAKING ONE’S POWER FELT
IN SHORT,
A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS
THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Festivals are NOT just
about WINNING A COMPETITION
but
a SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
