Isn't that the point of the study? The system is broken if individually productive but net counterproductive people are labeled "achievers" and promoted.
From a mgmt perspective, assuming a good manager, it does.
If your team/org doesn't approach it that way, the solution is find a high performing team that does approach it that way, not become toxic yourself. 10/10 high performance, long term successful teams approach things this way (source: this study, and people who have experienced this approach luckily).
From my experience in most cases it's not getting you anywhere. You will just be taken as granted.
