There are always a few people, sometimes unfortunately in important positions, who feel that they can deal with others only by imposing their will, by giving orders, by taking a dictatorial—master to serf—attitude. Sometimes, of course, it works. The orders are obeyed. But they are often obeyed at the price of resentment and the loss of self-respect. Obedience may have its uses, but it is no substitute for willing, uncoerced co-operation.
