This is really a bad strategy for promotion. Attending to others means not doing your own shit, which would compound as you help others more and more. Hence they would all be promoted whist you're on a PIP.
Makes sense though, basically need to balance individual desires and group goals. Helping the newbie get up to speed won't really benefit you, but will mean the team now can do more.

It's actually a great strategy to get promoted, and in fact, past a certain point, it's pretty much impossible to get promoted by trying to focus on your self-achievement rather than making your org (and surrounding orgs) as successful as you can by helping them.

I kind of realise in a way I've only ever works in shared leadership situations as experts needed to contribute and be motivated to contribute to developing innovative products and work. Only through collaboration and generating their own motivation could I deliver and thus get promoted. However, I would say some who were more power orientated shot up faster at times, only to eventually fizzle out in the long run.
