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. :-)
