Not a surprise, high-performance people run into all kinds of obstacles in an average or low-skill workplace. Others in the company simply putting in a basic 9-5 don't necessarily appreciate raised expectations or a higher throughput. Managers/execs enjoying fruits of expensive 3rd party contracts (travel, dinners, kickbacks) push back hard when the high-performer suggests doing those tasks/functions internally. Colleagues, even if well-meaning, may not be able to "keep up" or worse, make the same mistakes repeatedly. Getting support from other departments can be very difficult due to "how we've always done it" or "not how we do things here" syndromes. Mismatched levels of effort or motivation among team members. Etc etc, the list is nearly endless, but they all usually lead towards the high performer looking for work elsewhere.
