People like you describe love structure, if it's supportive. You didn't provide a supportive structure. You accused him of falling behind on synthetic targets because of his ambition.
It's no wonder he prefers to avoid that sort of "structure". Jesus Christ.
The elephant in every room you occupy is probably "this guy needs his authority validated".
- exabrial 7y agoThose "synthetic" targets you mention are goals the CEO and executive board laid down. The tech stack was chosen but his peers. It was a case of poor attitude, and he was processing towards his termination before he poisened the well for everyone else. I had another guy on the team that is just as productive but supports junior engineers by mentoring them on the stack, takes notes, clearly communicates, and takes initiative. Unlike the cowboy, he could teach people to do what he did.
