Please look for a little more nuance, I promise that it's there. Almost every NBA player is a high performer compared to the levels below. But many NBA players are not high performers when compared to other NBA players. Almost every professional software engineer is a high performer compared to the levels below. But many professional software engineers are not high performers when compared to the rest of the profession. Why is Steph Curry's salary more than 25x some of his teammates' salaries? The same for LeBron James? There is a distribution of performance within the top level of any profession. Why call out performance at all, in the context of coaching / managing / growth, if it's not relative to others at the same level?

It’s entirely not comparable if you understand anything about how scale is different. But you don’t. Like most on this forum these days it’s low Level Randos commenting with little insight or knowledge
