Drive a man hard enough and he'll do exactly what you told him. Then he'll stand there and wait for you to tell him the next thing.

Tyranny works great… in the short term.

The result never leaves a tyrant’s plate. He is the reason it happens. Not the standard, not the mission, not the man doing it.

The only thing that ever takes work off your plate is a man who owns the outcome. He's not doing the job because you'll come down on him if he doesn't. He's doing it because you helped him see what's in it for him. That's the key. And it's the one thing you can't take by force.
