Protecting high performers from "collaboration overload"

From when we were young, we learned that helping others is a virtue. But when we entered the business world, we soon discovered that being a helper at the office comes at a cost. 

High performers are often drawn away from their own work to help other employees and are asked to carry more weight. It's vital that organisations empower their workers to protect their time and sanity, so their desire to help doesn't cause more harm than good.
