All good advice. It sounds as though the individual in your story probably had a deeper problem with personal behaviour or mental health. It sounds exactly like a procrastination issue, where you hesitate on some task because of fear, then as the clock ticks the pressure builds and so does the fear, so you procrastinate more, on and on. Been there in consulting, really not fun.
Hey @james, I completely agree with this. There probably is a deeper issue. But there's only so much you can do after you've tried several times to address. I've been here too and you're right, it's not fun. Not in the slightest.
