Good managers will help you find your own motivation and set you up to follow it. Bad managers will kill it.

In this case, I would prefer an average manager that does not try to interfere with my motivations.

  • this makes sense, but can be at odds with the reason you're there. If your manager is not working to align your personal motivations with those of the organization they are failing. I don't believe it's a spectrum of good-bad management and "level of motivational interference". An "average manager" just does a weak job at the individual-organizational alignment.
