One of the laziest ways to motivate people to do what you want is to employ the “carrot or the stick” technique.
It’s how we used to train horses. Do as you want and the horse get a carrot. Disobey, and they get a whack on the hide.

It is how the ICC are currently choosing to keep the weak in line.
