This seems a bit simplistic, or I'm not understanding your comment. It is trivial to prove that you have to sometimes deprioritize an individual's success in order to ensure group success.
For example, it is beneficial to tax rich individuals to ensure the community has access to a social security safety net. Technically this penalizes a rich individual's success, however it is a critical factor in the success of the group.
