If actual performance is less than the standard, corrective action should be taken to address the issue and improve performance. Ignoring the issue or waiting for future reports could lead to further decline in performance and negatively impact the department's overall success. Seeking more resources may be a solution but it may not always be possible or effective, so it should not be the first course of action. Keeping the information to oneself would not address the problem and could even be seen as negligent management.
