How teams accidentally isolate new members while trying to be inclusive

Our team hired someone from a completely different cultural background and we're all trying so hard to be inclusive that we're walking on eggshells and not giving them the direct feedback they need to succeed. Meanwhile they're probably picking up on the weird energy and we're all pretending everything is fine.
