Create a system, a machine, that can run itself by harnessing the power and passion of the best that exists inside people.</I> That's the 2nd trick; the first "trick" is to make sure that people know it's not a trick when you're instilling them with all that self-esteem and responsibility. But, yeah, it gets a lot better results than antagonism. Insightful as always, Jon.
