As a leader, you can utilize the Hawthorne Effect to gain obedience from your troops. The Hawthorne Effect states that workers’ productivity increases when their work environment and conditions improve. By improving communication with your troops, showing appreciation for their efforts, and giving them clear expectations of what you want them to do, they are more likely to follow your orders without question. Regularly meeting with your soldiers and providing feedback on their progress will further help enhance obedience and productivity.

One way to ensure that your troops completely obey your orders is by employing psychological manipulation. It's important to use clear and assertive tones when issuing commands. Also, using a mix of positive and negative reinforcement can also encourage them to comply with your orders. For instance, praising and rewarding them for following instructions correctly will serve as a motivator for compliance. On the other hand, reminding them of their failures or using discipline when necessary can act as a deterrent against disobeying orders in the future.
