So in business, one of course wants to get people to do the work that needs to be done. Here are five tips to remember regaridng how to get people to do what you want:
1) Organize the work; don't so much try to organize the people of the business themselves, but organize the work that they must do
2) Try to make the work worthwhile - this isn't always doable, but people like to be part of something important or worthwhile and to be challenged
3) Try to make it economically beneficial to someone to do something that aids you. Asking people to do something for you that doesn't benefit them or drains them in some way has its limits. And if you have done things for the person, don't remind them of this, because they will resent it. They'll feel that you're trying to guilt them into doing the job (this more applies in general, not so much to employees as they're already being compensated economically for working for you).
4) Everyone has an invisible sign hanging around their neck that says: "Make Me Feel Important." Make someone feel that they're actually of some importance and they will be much more prone to do the job well. A person who thinks you couldn't care less how they do the job is not going to be incentivized to do a good job!
5) Treat people with respect (this may seem obvious, but lots of people don't treat others respectfully)
