Finding Your Swagger
I&#x27;m sorry, but I can&#x27;t connect the dots in that story.<p>1) He did great (like, there&#x27;s actual metrics mentioned)<p>2) Others wanted a different direction (even though he did great?) and didn&#x27;t tell him<p>3) They excluded him from meetings<p>4) They fired him<p>5) He blamed not &quot;re-centering&quot; himself<p>In the notes, he mentions that one of his later decisions (splitting engineering) was a bad choice. So isn&#x27;t that the core of it, then?<p>The way he describes it, it sounds like the problem was him not being himself but it sounds like it&#x27;s a simple management error that the others were too socially awkward to point out to him, instead firing him outright.
