"The third method,
the one that I prefer, is to open the door. Give people a platform, not a
ceiling. Set expectations, not to manipulate but to encourage. And then
get out of the way, helping when asked but not yelling from the back of
the bus.
"When people learn to embrace achievement, they get hooked on it. In a non-factory mindset,
one where many people have the opportunity to use the platform, there
are always achievers eager to take the opportunity. [They] are able to
produce amazing results, far better than we ever could have bullied them
into. They turn into linchpins, solving problems you didn't even
realize you had. A new generation of leaders is created...
"And it lasts a lifetime."
