Regarding being forced vs doing it of one's one volition, I hazily recall some research about checklist effectiveness in hospital and industrial work. If they were handed down from on high they were less effective than teams coming up with their own checklists. That matches my experience.

But if it comes from intrinsic motivation, I'm focused on achieving a practical result as best I can.
