>Giving the rest of the team a common enemy and a 'mark' they need to make sure they stay ahead of is effective and commonly used in military training. Of course where you see this used to its most effective form is when the person that is "marked" is expendable. You'll see it in basic training where everyone knows that person is doomed and it's either the team pulls them through or they are failed. You'll never see it once you get to a proper unit. If you are doing that in the boardroom of your team, you should probably review your hiring practices more than anything else.
