You are about to begin the fourth in a series of eleven working lessons on fluid management. In the last lesson, we discussed the use of leadership and creativity in carrying out group goal(s). The question you will probably ask next is, ‘how to evaluate the procedures needed to carry out your PAG objectives?’
PAGs should view the process of achieving any goal(s) as a mutually interactive creative endeavor. The project (goal) is the joint creative responsibility of the PAG and its various members. The appointed project leader and her/his staff bring forth various proposals for review and are responsible for their implementation. The process, however, invariably remains a group effort. Each member has the right, as well as the responsibility, to assist the appointed leader and her/his staff with constant suggestions and an examination of what is happening. One of the project leader’s main duties is to issue a weekly report on the project’s current status, and to open up this report to a general discussion. The project leader’s expertise is the key, but the PAG members must also give their valuable feedback and/or analysis on how the project is proceeding. In any case, carry out this activity in a loving and compassionate manner. To fulfill it will help you to grow spiritually, as well as to spread your increasing love energies to your local community.
