yet in the paragraph author states,
> As it turns out, they’ve spent their career at a big company and didn’t fully realize that much of their success was actually a team effort.
Insisting that an idea needs a team means that the person DOES realize that their success was a team effort.
Glaring inconsistency, I stopped reading here.
But what I failed to share will hopefully clear up the confusion. They didn't call that out during the hiring process. They talked themselves up as if they could succeed single-handedly. It wasn't shared until they were failing to show progress and then it became an excuse. It wasn't possible to give (or hire) them a team. In the end, the person was let go to find a bigger company with the resources and capacity they would need to succeed. No hard feelings... just not a fit.
Does that clear everything up?
