It was forming as they asked it or became more clear while they were forming it (out loud). It's sometimes scary to ask a question – no one wants to look dumb, ill-prepared, etc.

If you order someone to do a good job, they likely will (if they're capable) but do no more, being externally motivated. I published another book in 2009 entitled "Incarnate Leadership."
