It works both ways. Every form of micromanagement will turn every dev team into a bunch of demotivated, junior performing, just here for the paycheck careless bunch of codemonkeys.
It is an assured loss for all.
Why not the opossite way? Trust people a bit above what they currently warrant, see who rises to the opportunity, and ease out the rest. This will over time elevate to a decent team.
