is it still 20% of the people doing 80% the work in software projects?
if so finding those 20% and rewarding them accordingly. give them a raise, assign them stock options, make them feel appreciated and financially tied with the company.
this should be more effective than micro-management.
in my book, management is basically trying to use the least money to get the most out of employees, if instead reward people based on their measurable finished items(e.g. work got done on time), most of the management tricks go away on its own, they will manage themselves better than you can ever do.
