One thing I've noticed about "get shit done" people is that they quickly become the poster child to management for "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".

Managers go directly to these people for sketchy, half-baked ideas done in 3 seconds that can boost whatever metric makes them look good to their bosses.

Of course, it's always an unmaintainable spaghetti mess. Over my years in the industry I've come to realize these types of people are really damaging to engineering culture within an organization. They represent a quick buck over quality.
