under focus on some objectives resulting in other objectives not being achieved.

Focusing on the short term resulting in the ignoring of the long-term.

Behavior and activities in order to achieve specific performance measures, that may not be effective.

Misrepresentation:

Using creative reporting to suggest that performance measures have been achieved.
