“Drive the horse with oats, not with curses and oaths.”~Yiddish proverb
You can’t inspire free thinkers with demands and ultimatums. You use a combination of praise and rewards to bring about desirable behavioral changes. A popular saying reminds us that “you can catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.”
So true.
Thank you for your comment.
Reinforce the behavior you want to see with praise.
I like that concept.
