Read a old cowboy book about driving cows once.

“Boys, the secret of trailing cattle is never to let your herd know that they are under restraint. Let everything that is done be done voluntarily by the cattle. From the moment you let them off the bed ground in the morning until they are bedded at night, never let a cow take a step, except in the direction of its destination."

Seem to me there is some wisdom in this that can be applied to dealing with people too!
