Reminds me of Eliyahu M. Goldratt's "The Goal." Every team has a Herbie, and it is Herbie's pace that sets the organizational pace. One should try various ways to help Herbie increase their pace, and often that will help and a new Herbie will surface (another team member will be setting the slowest pace). But like any sport, not all players can be on any team, and your original Herbie may be a better contributor in another league or another sport. As long as management shows an active interest in trying to accommodate current players, the rest of the team will support and appreciate the reassignment of the one who can no longer keep up.
