6.0 SYNCHRONIZATION OF ACTIVITIES
All the structures of
the Movement operate in a synchronized way based on a calendar which
establishes its activities beforehand with precise dates.
There are calendars of
different levels ranging from the most general of a six-month type
valid for the whole Movement, to the calendar of the new group of a
quarterly or even shorter type, in which the objectives to be achieved
are established, highlighting the necessary steps to obtain the desired
results. Every calendar should contain a fixed objective, different
stages and transitions, and precise actions and dates, all within a
fixed period.
There are also calendars
for campaigns that are made up of a number of specific operatives which
add up into a larger result. In order to be converted into a tool and
not a hindrance, such campaign calendars should have a fixed time
length. Any margin of correction should not exceed 10% of the total
established calendar period.
For a calendar to be
complete it should contain observations or comments which clarify how
to implement each action.
As a structure
elaborates each specific calendar, it is discussed ahead of time by the
whole, based on the idea of consensus. Once an agreement is achieved
and fixed, the implementation of the calendar forms a reference point
for the whole. Once it has been fixed, a calendar should be modified
only by:
a) A new agreement among
all the members;
b) Some larger
circumstance impossible to overcome; or
c) The expiration of the
established time limit.
The search for consensus
in a council in the elaboration of a calendar is of fundamental
importance because otherwise the members tend to fulfill it only
through discipline. And we know that the return from discipline is
always less than the return from consensus.
