True.........
Years ago a company I worked closely with introduced a very competitive (ie Dog eat Dog) inter department management performance incentive.
I will never forget, some time later, one manager shaking his head in despair and saying "this place is now full of people who would rather their department made a profit and the company made a loss rather than the other way round".
All that was happening was each department (sales, design, production, installation etc) just played pass the parcel with any problems.
Luckily the top dogs were smart enough to have a re-think!
