Now imagine Randy continuing with his behaviour and you having that chat with him once every x months. After few of these, what would you tell Randy?

Imagine Randy worked for you, or under you on a project.

I've been on teams where people left quietly or loudly because of "Randies", going through the pains to change jobs.

Will you still have the same response for Randy?

the situation here is a mentor told this to Randy. In that context, this conversation probably has more of an effect. in any situation I think the lesson still applies, a person will be limited if they continue their behavior no matter how much success they have, they could have accomplished more if they had dropped the attitude problem.
