Say you're a rockstar analyst / associate. What are some ways you've seen firms try and force them to become more "collaborative" or "teamwork" driven to try and get their skillset to rub off on the much weaker members of the team?

Staff you with the dogshit An/Asc and tell you to coach them up/train them
Is getting staffed with dogshit senior associates and VPs that are titularly senior to you and have no idea what they are doing with the same expectation a usual thing as well?
It's the absolute worst because then I have to not only check my own work but theirs as well while also having to deal with them trying to feed you shitty ideas that only serve to make more work.
I keep getting staffed with a weird hybrid of a What Do They Do? and Wannabe MD archetype and it's absolutely hellish. The guy's basically weaponized incompetence.
Took me a second to realize it, but love the reference to my VP archetypes post. And I think getting staffed with weaker sr assoc/VPs is most likely one of two things. 1) staffer is aware they aren’t very good and they also know that you are a good enough analyst to carry the process, 2) the deal/staffing is a lower quality/easier deal that doesn’t require rockstar sr assoc/VPs, and you have capacity
my place tries to do an outing once a month. Axe throwing, mini golf or some sort of activity and on nice days sometimes team lunch somewhere.
