Imagine you are building a weight lifting team. You want strong people who are willing to work hard.
Someone from the US Olympic marathon team applies! Wow! This guy is really good athlete. But..clearly his experience is with long distance running, not short intense bursts. He likely won’t be a good fit.
The marathon runner’s experience is so different from what’s expected from a weight lifter, the two things won’t interfere.
My favourite example of this is performers with a background in dancing who then go on to do martial arts scenes in films. It’s many of the same movements, and being a dancer gets you a large part of the way there for choreographed fight scenes, but then you get to the details, and they’ve spent so much time training to move with a certain softness and gracefulness that the snappier, more explosive movement in martial arts becomes incredibly difficult for them. This is especially obvious with kicks, both in terms of leg movement and foot posture.

Same thing with companies, just more nuanced.
