That's just ... management. Management is mostly about people, it is mostly about the HOW instead of the WHAT. I'd go one step ahead and make a statement that "Management is mostly about dealing with people's observable behaviours".

You can't "manage observable people behaviours", they are complex human beings with unique emotions and motivations, each one behaves differently.

If you try to "manage" that, they will resent and resist you.

The best you can hope for is that they like and respect you enough to follow your leadership. But that's their choice.
