Point taken. OTOH, when you hire a plumber you don't tell him/her how to do
their plumbing. When you 'hire' a Kitchen Steward, there should be no reason
to tell him/her how to do their job. It is a matter of delegating
responsibility. While the Event co-ordinator certainly should be aware of
what is happening with various aspects of the event that awareness does not
necessarily translate into control the details of that event.
Micro-management is one of the worst traits found in some would be
supervisory/director personel. Far better you get a team that works together
like an well-rehearsed orchestra with an accomplished conductor rather than
submitting to a somg writer telling you how to play your instrument. :-)
