“Learn from the master Napoleon: the way to manage people is to keep them in suspense. First create a bond between your soldiers and yourself. They respect you, admire you even fear you a little. To make the bond stronger, hold yourself back, create a little space around yourself; you are warm yet with a touch of distance. Once the bond is forged, appear less often. Make both your punishments and your praises rare and unexpected whether for mistakes or for successes, that may seem minor at the time but has symbolic meaning. Understand once people know what pleases you and what angers you they turn into trained poodles, working to charm you with apparent good behaviour. Keep them in suspense, make them think of you constantly and want to please you but never know just how to do it. Once they are in the trap, you will have a magnetic pull over them. Motivation will become automatic. ”
