First of all, I have a lot of compassion for you for being in that situation. Like every great leader has been in that situation.

And so one of the things that I've done with folks who I know to be brilliant in their work, but somehow they're not showing their brilliance, either because they're afraid or they're too shy or they're introverted, is what I've tried to do is... we hired you because you have great ideas.
