I micromanager will work around that by splitting the requirements up in tiny jira tasks that cannot be ignore easily, and then follow up daily on every single task. This completely kills initiative, tough, and may reduce the value added by each team member by 50% or more. The only time to use such tactics is with someone who is acting in very bad faith and at risk of being fired. It can be done for a while to establish an example, while rewarding better behavior with more autonomy gradually. If they still ignore the instructions, then that's proper grounds for firing them (even in Europe), and if they chose to leave because of it, well, that's ok too.
