Everybody but complete dickholes prefers the second option. The problem is, only a few people can work that way.
Personally, I set metrics and offer rewards and imply consequences. Also, whenever I encounter an asshole, I follow this path: do they produce? publicly humiliate them. If they chill out, they stay. If they don't, fire them, regardless of the consequences. If they don't produce, instantly fire them. Seeing assholes get fired is good for everyone. Half the time after they're gone, you find out they were really much worse than you thought. However, I've never managed a manager. I'm not sure that works for layers.
