People don't like working for the man. People want to feel like they are apart of the product, and without them the product can not be made. Rather it true or not, you have to get them want to be there. This is by far the hardest thing to do when leading.

What I do to make this happen is demonstrate something to my students, then make them do it. Later, I go back and pull up what I taught them before and add to it. This helps them make connections and see the bigger picture. After that, the real fun starts..... You have to let go. Give them a project that is theres. It can be anything from having one guy be in charge of one prop, where that prop is his life. He fixes the prop, builds the prop, and runs the prop during the show. I guarantee that that prop will be exactly where it needs to be and in working order every night. The only way to really get people to work is to get them to take a stake in what they are doing. Its tough, but its the only way.

You have to take a step back, let them make mistakes, and let them be apart of the action.
