Leadership: Motivating Others

Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Example: “Would it make sense to organize these alphabetically?”
Try to make the other person happy about doing things you suggest.
Make others feel too important for tasks you don’t want them to do.
Give out titles and authority: make others happy contributors

2. Know preciesly what it is you want the other person to do.
3. Be Empathetic. Try to understand what others want.
4. Focus on any benefits the other person might receive.
5. Explain how those benefits match the other person's wants.
