Adopt Fishbowl Management: One of the best ways to improve performance of people / departments in your organization is by fishbowl management. In every organization you will find a bunch of people, who are non-performers, people who blame other departments for lack of their performance, procrastinate on things citing some ridiculous reasons or challenges which they would have easily overcome in the first place if they would have shown some leadership.
If you are leader and you see two or more departments / individuals’ often bad mouthing or blaming each other, bring them to common forum and break open what each one thinks about the other, sure this is going to create some uncomfortable situation but if handled well, can help remove the unnecessary noise in the system and put people back on performance track. On the other hand leaving it open would breed inefficiency in your organization.
