Is it really the responsibility of the high performer in any field of work, to help others catch up?

Would it be your responsibility?

I guess because there have been too many times when people tried to take credits for my work, I learnt to hold back a little bit and not be too quick to help them succeed. And not invest as much as I know I can in their betterment. I also feel very bitter about ethical conflicts. I don't want to be stuck dealing with what I think are the basics and ''arguing" for them. It takes away from my efficiency. I do enjoy sharing great outcomes with my coworkers and succeeding. I don't enjoy arriving there by means of stressful communication and clashes.
I interfere when their failure leads to harm for other people. And I guess I just dictate what should be done, to buy time, which doesn't change matters long term. Without conviction, things are bound to return to how they used to be as soon as I turn away. Definitely not the pro-social type even if I do have my charms and I am liked by many. I am the sort of person who functions best alone but that can be counterproductive. I want by large to have better lives, not just myself.

I can relate to this. I’ve been asked to do case presentations and other things to upskill others. However ultimately they don’t have my brain and my pattern recognition. So all that happens is I get friendly fire and accused of favouritism. So now I refuse to do anything above my pay grade. I will do low key one on one mentoring if people want to accept how I am but I’m not prepared to make myself a target. It does no good in the long run. Unfortunately we don’t all have the same capability and it’s not your responsibility to up skill others especially when you’re happy to be autonomous.
