> people who have extraordinarily high output, but slowed everyone around them I’m pretty convinced that most high performers follow this pattern. They’re really good at making it very visible all the stuff they’re doing, but they only focus on what’s visible, and leave all the underlying details/maintenance for the “lesser” employees to clean up after them. Management jumps them from project to project because of how “good” they are, meanwhile every team they leave behind has to pick up the pieces. This has the perverse result of making everyone else appear to be low performers, because they’re too bogged down bailing out the leaky boat.
