Fishbowl Management 

Fishbowl Management is the process whereby the activities (action and inaction) of the key influencers of an organization, or kingpins, are made transparent to one another for all to see, as fish in a fishbowl. By placing kingpins in a fishbowl one can greatly raise the stakes of inaction. Light is shined on those who are lagging behind and those who are excelling. Punishment and reward, in turn, are given in a transparent and open way for all to see. For fishbowl management to work, it must be based on transparency, inclusion, and fair process.
