So you tighten the thumbscrews until people start to crack, and then you give them some bread and circuses

  People handle different loads. Some people perform better under stress, others need far more time off and breaks and they'll perform better. As a manager you're a representative of the company, and it's your duty to maximize value for the company. That means approaching each person differently and with respect. Most people say "I want to get promoted" or "I want to be in this position in my career in X years" or "I want to work on Y type of project". As a manager I have to deliver Z. All of those require a level of stress to achieve, so I work with my colleagues to help them achieve their goals in a measured way. At the same time I ensure we deliver Z on time. Don't really know how you got the "start to crack" out of my previous comment. People are different, they should all be handled with a unique approach to collaboration.
