"Get someone to do something" means to cause someone to do something. It doesn't matter how you get them to do it - force, persuasion, cajoling, encouragement, trickery, bribes, or anything else - if they did it because of something you said or did, you got them to do it.

Almost. Here, "to get" means "to cause." "To force" or "to make" somepne do something means that that person does NOT naturally want to do it. "to get" and "to cause" do not have that connotation. If you "get" someone to do something, it usually means that you "pay" or "persuade" them to do it. --"Little Bobby refused to clean his room until I forced him to clean his room by threatening to take away his allowance." --"I got Bobby to clean his room by bribing him with a cookie.;" --"I got my hair cut yesterday"=I paid someone tom cut my hair --"My mom forced me to eat brocolli.
