I appreciate your willingness to try to salvage the situation, but the best thing for all parties in scenarios like this is to transition them out. I liked to use GWC for all employees: - do they "get it"? - do they want it? - do they have the capacity to do it? All three must be yes for a role to be a good fit. It's nobody's fault; perhaps they -were- at a senior level at another org, but your definition of senior might be more aligned with the market. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Their capabilities do not match the requirements of the business. Take the emotion out and it's an easy decision.
