to make people work for 10% less than average is a real managerial art.

they use irrelevant motivations (like 'are you a man', 'you gave a word'), deceive people, flatter, promote jerks to make tension in the team and so forth.

and even make some bullshit (rarely good things, i think) done. at least what i see here in my city/country.

it's easy to have power based on money, but sometimes not that efficient, they think.
