Every team I've ever worked with (11) has had at least one person that would meet this archetype. Their team-based contribution usually wilts under the kind of individualized metrics being pushed for by some here and the team suffers as a result even if their own metrics get better.

Then do my second case, this person gets a different title so we can evaluate them differently.

Now with the major objection to objective performance review gone we can do that for the actual individual contributors.

I have no need to do that as I'm actually involved in my teams and don't need arbitrary numbers to see that someone is contributing. I'm fortunate that I have been able to avoid (or actively dodge) metric perverts in my career.
