There's an age-old -- and yearly -- battle between executives and sales teams when it's time to review sales targets and results, but it can be prevented with one theatrical, but powerful step. When goals are missed, management says the sales force doesn't 'get it' or isn't motivated, and the sales team says the products aren't any good. To keep people from passing the buck, just circulate the compensation plan, and get each executive to personally sign it, and voila, no more excuses.
