In my experiences managing sales people, the best and brightest dont do well with micromanagement. They do become star performers when you give them the tools, support, and culture that allows them to be their best.

Said another way: great bosses have few rules but very high standards.

As a part of an inside sales team I can attest to not wanting to be micromanaged. I think one of the best things my "good" bosses ever did was ask how people want to be coached and approached; what they like or don't like. I also have had one of the toughest bosses in the building but also the one I grew to love and respect because she was a straight shooter and always let you know where you stood with her. She expected you to rise way above the bar but she never disrespected you. She would also have a habit of being extra careful about her body language. If it was a serious discussion she would be certain to be seated across from you, and lean in putting her open palms together, elbows on her thighs and looking you straight in the eye. She is the best boss I ever had. You need to be very careful about how you manage this team if you want to have career success and be an honest person, don't make yourself out to be one of those who uses staff as stair steps. You really need to seek the advice of tenured and successful people in your business. Good luck.
