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
Festivals are NOT just about WINNING A COMPETITION but aSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
