Tried that. Your colleagues, and some managers, will immediately see you as a threat (how dare you have something to show when we don't) and will start treating you as a personal enemy. Sabotaging every thing you are trying to do, trying to blame you for every failure, and overloading you with completely useless work.

Nope, fish rots from the head. If everyone around you is useless, there are good reasons for it, and best you can do is find another place where these reasons won't apply.
