Yes - most of the behavior likely is due to the incentive structure. My point was that such incentive structures seem strongly correlated to teams/orgs with very talented people. At least in my discipline, I attribute it to the incentives in academics/universities, which is where most of such folks come from.

Maybe a good way to handle having a team FULL of high functioning individuals is to break it up and have them each lead their own team eventually?
