You're allowed to have fun, and more than anything a shit ton of studies have proven time and time again that the best output comes out of individuals and teams when they're given specific tasks and timetables and have their needs met.
The example below assumes individual/team are familiar with their jobs and are capable of meeting deadlines, but yeah
The more freedom they're given, the more creative they can get with it and collaborate, and they're more engaged. Cant tell you the number of times some idiot tried to do some Dwight Schrute-esqe management and the hard earners left immediately and sucked the team energy and engagement and ruined the culture of the group.
Again, each situation can, and almost is different and these are very general terms and individuals may have other life events happening that take away their attention.....but for me personally and generally speaking,i look at it as if i can deliver the content on time and budget....and am able to choose between fun and excited vs miserable or absolutely no fun....i dunno, im going for fun!
