There’s a deck your leadership team still talks about, a strategy that changed the quarter, a fix that saved a launch — and if you ask the room who’s responsible, you’ll get three names, none of them his.

So the pattern set in: he did the work, gave away the credit, and told himself the work would speak for itself. Everyone loved him for it — and when his name went up for promotion, the room went quiet, because nobody could point to a single thing and say that one’s his.
