You want to transfer Reg to another department. The personnel department say that a transfer without a good reference means that Reg will get a job where his possibilities for promotion will be very limited.

Do you really want to close the door on Reg's future? If you do, then this is the end of the maze for you. If you do not, go back to 1 and see if you can find a different solution to the problem. Or talk about your own experience. Have you ever felt jealous of colleagues who got on faster in their careers? If so, how did you overcome your jealousy?
