The point is that reward and punishment, carrot and stick, only works for the short term. Non-violent communication works much more effectively. You teach a person how to get their needs met with less cost.
You teach people to be selfish and that results in good behavior? How does that work?
No, it's not about teaching people to be selfish, it's about teaching people to be self-motivated.
Some of us are self-motivated out of altruism. It feels good to us to do things for others benefit.
That beats being told to do it, or forced to do it, or threatened to do it. Doing things out of love rather than fear, out of interest and curiosity and joy of the challenge.
