Getting people to do something you want takes some practice, but usually "threatening" does not solve the problem, it just makes the people "too scared" to mis-behave. If you really want to get people to genuinely stop mis-behaving and have "discipline" on your team, I'd seriously suggest that you visit your local library or bookstore and pick up a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People. This book is a classic when it comes to being an effective leader and how to have successful people-skills.

If you want it summed up: don't threaten people, make them feel important and appreciated, earn their respect, and then they will wholeheartedly listen to you and do what you want. It sounds weird to some people, but it genuinely works.
