A technically excellent worker at a design company knew his stuff. Unfortunately, he seemed to delight in finding fault, in criticizing others on the team and continually provoking coworkers and managers. His repeated comments like "they should have..." or "why didn't they..." made it hard for anyone to feel safe - he could find fault with anyone. Success needs to balance task and relationship. He focused on task above all else, and damaged relationships without ever realizing the importance of building them. Eventually, management let him go. He didn't understand why.
