^Walt doesn't exactly have hitters lined up to do his bidding like Gus does. I mean, he needed Jesse to kill Gale.

Iirc, Gus himself has expressed that he doesn't find fear to be a good motivator.
See, that goes back to how illogical some of Gus' decisions are. Some of them make sense, but others, you're left thinking "that's completely unlike something he would do" EG: knifing Victor. What is knifing a guy in the neck while making your underlings watch suppose to do, inspire confidence..?

I still believe Gus isn't some big, badass like so many here believe. It's conflicting actions like I described above that clearly show Gus is just as fallible as anyone else. He walks around with a sense of self-appointed confidence. Mike is the real deal, Gus is just driven to extremes - it's not really him.
