Idea 12: Controlling
To know how to do it is simple – the difficulty is doing it.
Chinese proverd
Once work has started on a project it is vital that you control and coordinate what is being done, so that everyone's energy is turning wheels and making things happen. The synergy or common energy of the group should be fully deployed in implementing the common plan and producing the desired results.
How do you do that? The secret of controlling is to have a clear idea in your mind of what should be happening, when it should occur, who should be doing it, and how it should be done.
The more effectively you have involved the group in your planning, the more likely it is that they too will have a similar picture of what is required.
