In Defense of Command and Control - and Empowerment - in L&D Efforts

I have embraced what I saw as the real need for clients to have some measure of control over projects that I was involved with - so that they were "taken" on the journey - "used" as needed for their project - and had the overall buy-in necessary for post-project Implementation support - which simply is a shift/segue into Command & Contol of that effort. Implementation.

After all, how many times did a project turn unsuccessful simply because it didn't get implemented correctly?

In any event - I would tell my assembled Project Steering Teams (or whatever my main client wanted to call them) that the function of the Project Steering Team that they were on, was to give them Command &amp; Contol that they wanted as stakeholders - and then after a slight pause and even louder (for the back row) - to give me the Empowerment I needed.
