If the company is big enough to have "other parts" it probably means those other parts have different missions and different tasks/skills to carry out the mission.

But, having said that, it takes some rare managerial skills to pull it off. I've worked with someone who had those skills and it was fascinating to watch it happen. It took an ability to be bluntly honest to the "problem" employee without tearing them down, an ability to figure out their strengths, and then knowledge of where those strengths could be applied elsewhere in the company.
