Show your technicians what you believe in and they will follow.

Recently, my 14-year old daughter and me spent three days studying motivation and persuasion. (Her involvement may come back to bite me since she learned the same issues and persuasion techniques that I did and will probably use them on me.)

The most important thing that I learned is that you really have to believe, 1,000 percent, in what you are talking about before you can motivate and persuade anyone else about your topic.
