Years ago, I hired an extremely intelligent, Ivy League-educated professional who was highly motivated to work for our organization. He worked until 9 p.m. every night and often left a proposal or report on my desk so it would be the first thing I saw the next morning.
Each morning, I hoped for the best, but most days my reaction was a sad sigh.
This well-meaning guy just didn't have the skills to be a product manager. Little that he produced was helpful, or even accurate. I never was able to figure out why, but no matter how much support and training we gave him, his work never improved significantly.
Here's the good news: after we reluctantly let him go, he switched industries and became highly successful in a very different role.
