As a manager, your job is to make your team work well for the benefit of the company. You do that by motivating them, by improving their skills, by removing barriers to their success. This idea of targeting your employees is absurd... who benefits? How does the manager benefit? Even if they were being selfish, the way the manager gets moved up is by the perception that the team is succeeding. Competitiveness is useless in professional engineering environments except as, at best, a cheap and temporary motivator imo. Learning to collaborate effectively is what's important.
