This made me think about how different it is to motivate people to exercise. Some people seams to need a full on military boot camp to get exercise done, and some people just totally shuts down when someone tells them what to do. When it comes to management, we don't only need to understand that different people need different types of motivation, but also that something that is essential to motivate some can be directly contra productive and harmful to others motivation.

A million times this. People are diverse, in basically every way. Itβs the worst and best part about them.

If managing/coaching could be boiled down to "be positive" you could replace the manager with a motivational poster.
Isn't it the managers job to figure out what each individual on the team needs to perform?
