"There was a person on our team that was very analytical by nature. They preferred solitary tasks. That's the kind of work they really took pride in. They were good at other things too, and management put them in charge of a team. I noticed they were burning out quickly, so I brought this to our management's attention. They observed, took the information, and eventually reassigned some tasks, which ultimately worked out better for the department."
