I’m a high performer, and I know my pace makes others uncomfortable. Leadership uses my output as the benchmark. I never asked to be the example, but now resentment is building. Should top performers slow down for the sake of team morale? I would even know how to start!

Possibly consider redirecting some of that hyper-go-getter “top performer” energy to helping your teammates excel. Leadership is often about inspiring others to achieve more together than any of us can alone.

Exactly right. There is no I in Team. Good management knows this and doesn't pit people against one another. True Leaders will inspire the whole group and promote collaboration, not cause dissention by speaking about one individual alone, that is creating a competition environment which usually doesn't work well in organizations trying to be succesful.

Nah keep doing you. They say, it’s lonely at the top. So, it is what it is. You shouldn’t have to change who you are and how you work for the sake of others.

If you're working at your own normal pace and people resent that, too bad. Ignore it. Don't let bumblers drag you down to their level. If it become untenable, find a better team to work on. But for now you might as well just do what you're doing.

I'm with UR1. Are you certain that the team's resentment doesn't stem from something else? Are you humble about it and or generous with your time? A good leadership team does not choose favorites and realizes that it takes everyone to make a business successful.

I do not think you should slow down for the sake of morale. Do not allow them to put that on you. If they are using your output as the benchmark, that is on them. Nobody can blame that on you.

If you are such a high performer, ask for a raise.

HR lady said that they will give you that when you start. I would like that now (written format). She told me verbally the percentages but I do not recall them. Anyone from #PwC has that info in a PDF document?

Any documents? Much appreciated.
