These guys should be going out there with drive largely for self-motivation reasons. They have all sorts of reasons why they should "go out there with drive and confidence". If they can find those within themselves we have the wrong guys.
But to go back to my point, if I don't show up ready to work, I get fired. My manager isn't going to put a lot of time to try and motivate me. He's going to fire me.

To be fair, weren't there numerous reports that Gulutzan lost the Dallas Stars room for the same reasons before he was fired? Veterans tuned him out. Super nice guy but just a terrible in game manager and non-existent motivator.
I think some people inherently need to be motivated with a kick in the butt as opposed to mastery, purpose etc as you say. Based on this team's slow slide into oblivion, it really does seem like this staff is just way out of touch with the needs of the team.
