Is It Harshness That Drives People to Craft Better Strategies?

People internalize this harshness as a strategy to get the most of themselves. They're not going to get more out of, you know, if they're a manager and their main way of getting more of the people is to be harsh. I don't think creativity and flexibility are increased by harshness. Threat mode leads people to conserve creative energy so that they can just finish something. The threat of being fired doesn't make people come up with more creative strategies.
