Stacy R is so irritating and catty. She always gets in the way of the task at hand. She has a tendency to fight with the PM. She whines and complains about her task instead of getting it done. She wasted a lot of Pam’s time. Instead of working with Pam, Stacy R chose to argue with her on minor details. For example, Stacy R wasted a lot of time with the labels on the bottles, and no time on pricing. Pam had to take over her job at the last minute.

This team did not lose because of Pamela’s leadership skills. Pam was brought into the team to teach Apex how to focus and put aside their petty differences. This team lost because Pamela had to micromanaged Stacy R and Maria.

I totally disagree with Trump’s decision to fire Pamela. Pamela brought the right people into the boardroom. She brought in the two most incompetent people for this task. Pamela had a short time to assess their skills and assigned tasks. She mostly had to rely on them to tell her the truth about their abilities. Maria and Stacy R assured Pamela they were more than qualify do the job assigned to them. Unfortunately, for Pamela this was not the case.

On the other hand, the men’s team keeps winning because they are collaborative. Once a decision is made they all fall in line and carry out their assigned roles. They don’t continue to argue or challenge the PM at every step.
