Bob says the best way to get people on your side of an issue is to help them figure out what they want.
A good leader is able to ask questions and find out what others want to accomplish. When you know this, frame what you want in a way that others feel it benefits them to get onboard. Ultimately, people do things for their reasons, not your reasons. As a leader, your job is to serve people to make sure they get what they want.
