Controlling the Minds of Employees

	          		I think there can be several way to achieve goals, however what's more important is to have control over the mind of the team members. And that's up to the managers how they carry their team.

													Mind control is getting people to do what THEY want to do (you simply influence what they want so it's in their best interest).

There are two ways to get people to do what you want:

1. Behavior modification, allows you to change a person's undesirable behaviors by using positive reinforcement.

2. Reality modification. We'll concentrate most of our attention on this. This mind control technique is successful because of the way in which your requests are presented.
