restate this comment, "I think your post shows that you have an understanding of what a high-performance team is and what the expectations would be. For Kathryn's situation, I absolutely agree with you that her choice to be passive was wise. In order to find the root cause(s) of any issue, it is necessary to peel back multiple layers of the methods. I think your description of "came in strong" probably reminds most readers of a colleague or manager that did such and the outcome was not positive. Sometimes it is best to take a moment to capture the big picture and slowly work though all feedback and observations. Thank you for your insight
