Fear based motivations don’t instill loyalty, create trust, build morale, inspire creativity, attract talent, or drive innovation. It’s one thing for employees to have a healthy respect for you, but quite another to be in fear of you. Remember that respect is earned, and fear is imposed.

Recently, someone argued with me stating that just because they are into a creative field, they don’t need process. My take is that even in creative areas, a process is important.
