My vision of how an employee/department/company should develop:

stage 1) work steadily/predictably (i.e., meet expectations; even if it means working slowly and making mistakes sometimes, but within an expected scope)

stage 2) +work with quality (even if not quickly, but steadily)

stage 3) +quickly/efficiently

stage 4) +with others’ hands (but with one’s own mind)

stage 5) +with others’ minds (but with one’s own as well)

If you reach stage 5 and want to go further, you need to find another area/level of complexity/scale and start with stage 1.
