Although Boyd made it clear that he was the leader of the RSC, his idea was that he and Heywood would work as equals (as at the National Theatre where there is also an Artistic Director and an Executive Director), with Heywood looking to the management side of the operation, and Boyd giving artistic leadership and, of course, directing plays. Boyd and Heywood wanted to open up the RSC. One of the first things done under Boyd’s leadership was to stop having virtually all financial decisions taken by one person, and to give each of the departments their own budgets.
That immediately gave many people more responsibility and involvement – and because it felt as though it was their money that they were spending, the budget deficit began to disappear. Another key decision was to change the operation of the Human Resources Department, responsible for hiring and firing and general company welfare.

They would have to own the process, not have it directed from outside.
