I don’t like it when somebody tells me I have to do something.  If that person is more powerful than I am (like a teacher, parent or police officer), I will probably do it while he is standing there supervising me, but I am not likely to continue doing it once he is gone.  But when somebody takes the time to convince me that it is a good idea to do something, I’ll continue doing it without anyone having to supervise me.

      General Eisenhower could definitely getting the soldiers under him to do what he wanted by simply giving them an order, but he preferred to lead through persuasion.  How do you try to get others to do what you want them to?
