The Trouble with Top Performers

If you read any popular business magazines like Harvard Business Review, or other management books and articles, you will definitely encounter some examples about various super performers (or hyper-efficient employees) that exist in various organizations and how they did something great. Of course, the definition of a super performer is a subjective term that can vary from manager to manager or from company to company and can be quite varied based on their personal experiences. And that picture can range from someone who is super-fast at everything, a noisy person, a flamboyant person, or someone who has all the answers, a management’s blue-eyed boy, a jargon emitting person, a go-to person, or even someone who always comes to office very early and leaves very late, and so on.

Or if you go by the job advertisements of organizations today, a super performer are someone who meets (or claims to meet) the fancy criteria like below (based on real sentences picked from some newspaper advertisements).
