ᐧ Power: -
People works under you because of two things: -
1) Influence
2) Compulsion
- Influence affects more than compulsion. Compulsion brings hate feelings of employee towards you.
The best way to increase your power is to do things that increase your influence and reputation. The more people know your capabilities and respect the reputation you've built, the more power you will have.
ᐧ Comparative Advantage: -
Be the first real version of yourself, not a second real version of someone else.
Have some (or hire) with difficult skills, if people have same skills its quite high possibility that they'll stuck.
You can't do everything by yourself. You need a team. Men will different skills working with yourself is the greatest asset.
- No man is an island, focus on what you can do well and work with the others to accomplish the rest.
ᐧ Commander's Intent: -
Whenever you delegate any work to someone, give them reason also that why that work must be done.
Always direct command/requests one specific individual at time.
The more people available to the work the less responsibility each member of crowds feels to do anything about the situation.
When delegating responsibilities, always assign tasks to single owner with clear deadline. Only then will people feel responsible for getting things done.
ᐧ Planning Fallacy: -
* Things doesn't go as it was planned; even professional CEO's does make planning which they can't follow.
There is a quote from the book by the name "Rework" which says "planning is guessing". So, use plans, but don't depend on them. As long as you keep working with speed and diligence, the project will be done as soon as its feasible.
ᐧ Referrals: -
You would like to take the service from the guy you know or having some type of relationship with the person.
The more people who know, like, and trust you the better off you are. Referrals are the best way to expand your network of personal connections.
Quote: -
If you don't know how to act in Rome, doing what Romans do is a pretty safe bet.
ᐧ Social Proof: -
Social proof is the sign that most of the people are doing that thing or purchasing that item thus Amazon.com has reviews encourages them(people) to buy without any restriction.
- Men behaves like as his company.
ᐧ Authority: -
Show respect to all men but grovel to none.
*Grovel - Bowing in front of something to take or asking for a thing.
Authority- Teacher, Parents, Government etc.
ᐧ Developing A Strong Reputation: -
Developing a strong reputation in certain area confess the benefits of authority. Not all the authority are insidious - if people respect your knowledge and experience, they're more likely to do what you suggest. As a result, developing clear expertise and strong reputation can be beneficial it increases your own influence.
Work to establish yourself as can authority on what you're offering, and people will be more likely to accept your offer.
ᐧ Commitment And Consistency: -
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
Don't make false commitment, obtain a small commitment and you'll make it far mor likely that others will comply with your request.
ᐧ Incentive-Caused Bias: -
Quote

Incentive can be useful if used appropriately but be careful. If incentive of people, you work with aren't aligned with your interest, you're bound to have problems.
