Top-down direction (feedback) can only be effective when grounded in reality, and to do this you must be approachable to your direct reports, hence fairly hands-off during day to day operations so that your presence in a meeting impacts it minimally - only then can you gather accurate information to give effective direction and feedback.
Team directives are "here are our goals, what's the best way to make them happen?, alas at the individual level, "management style" doesn't fly. Your team will be full of people each of whom take feedback differently and must be approached differently if you want to be as effective as possible.
Your goals as a manager are almost always best met by enabling your team via reducing their stress levels and providing them with the tools they need.
Do this, and they will meet whatever (usually pointless) goals or KPI's the brass uses to evaluate your performance.
