There’s something that just feels better about motivating people (who don’t think they _must_ do what you ask) than motivating people who feel that they must do what you say. I’ve done both, and prefer the former. So much so that it affects how I “manage” too – I approach it as leading, where I happen to be the manager, not managing because you work for me.
