Reminds me of the saying "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together." But an important corollary is that you should be very selective about who you travel with. In some cases, like a corporate setting where you have no control over the randos you are thrown together with, it can indeed be the least painful option to go it alone. The alternative is knowing that if everyone does their best you can all aspire to be ... mediocre.
