Persuading someone to do something can have either of two outcomes. The person will either do it begrudgingly, or he would do so in earnest. The art of Persuasion was something that the Greeks knew of more than 2500 years ago. A knowledge that not many take due note of, but is very important all the same.

Negative leadership is detrimental to the well-being of the entire company. From his decisions, his work ethic, to the way he treats his employees. None of these are in the best interests of the company. In fact, Toshi Harada, Director of International Business Development at Hayes Lemmerz, the world’s largest maker of automobile wheels, attests to this fact.

People, working together, can create outcomes better than individual accomplishments. Using groups to generate decisions, makes sense. Decisions made by the group, most of the time, get implemented first.
