On-the-spot guidance

Most instances of on-the-spot guidance have higher-ranking military officers and officials taking notes of what the Supreme Leader is saying or recommending.

"On-the-spot guidance" (also "guidance tours" or "field guidance") is a term used in the North Korean mass media to describe appearances by the supreme leader of North Korea, often at sites related to the military or to industry, at which the leader gives directives. "On-the-spot" guidance is a key aspect of North Korean propaganda and the North Korean personality cult of the Kim dynasty. Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un have all made use of the practice.
