I have heard a great story about Sun Tzu, the writer of famous book 'The art of war'. He was quite new & not known commander then. One fine day, he is invited by King to show his method of training. He calls some soldiers and orders them some things. They obey. Not the one to be impressed, the King asks him whether he could put discipline in the royal ladies.
Sun Tzu calls all the royal ladies in front of him and tells them to stand in line. Once there, he gives them small orders like sit, stand, look back, right or left. One of the ladies cannot control laughter & seeing her others begin to overheat Sun and not obey him. Even after one warning they are not serious. Sun Tzu immediately orders the death penalty for the first disobeying lady. He even disallowed king to enter into matter.
After that all the instructions given by him are followed and soon Sun Tzu becomes famous. Sometimes, it is difficult to be strict, but it is nevertheless important. The small step can bring in large difference in discipline levels.
