Answer #1

Try splitting up the work, explain who does what, and tell them that you’ll all be getting together like at a particular time on friday with the completed pieces.

Answer #2

tell them they’ll be losers and failures if they don’t…but that may make them mad…so scratch that, and give the ones who do it candy…yeah,I don’t know, I’m not a teacher.

Answer #3

congregate the ones involved and assertivly say what needs doing, and delegate to those who you know want to do certain things. then, say who wants to do “ so and so”? most people want to appear co-operative and willig so will offer.

being assertive is about confidence. if you want to get something done, just take charge, most people don’t feel comfortable with responsibilty, they would rather someone else take it. so take it! and be sure to have a back up plan in case! lol!

Answer #4
  1. attude, you need just the right attude that lets everone know that you are in charge but not “the boss” if you know what I mean.
  2. tone of voice, if you make you demans sound like a request then yo well get results. The old catching the flys with honny.
  3. use phers like “would you please” “I would apperate if you would”, “Ours will be the best” “every one will be so inpresed with this” dis out some prase
