But you don’t have to be perfect to be the right person in a team, and you don’t have to be “the” right person to be an asset to a team. People with low self-confidence plus low social confidence (plus possibly moralistic ideas about self-reliance) will try to self-improve through their own efforts rather than seeking help, regardless of how much less effective it is, believing they’re not worth someone else’s attention yet, or being afraid of owing someone, or whatever; quotes like Steinem’s reinforce that.
...Maybe. I don’t have any actual sources, so I could be totally wrong. Still, I’m not sure I like the focus on “being” rather than doing things.
You still have to be the right person to be the right person in a team....?

Who said anything about being perfect?
And if you’re an asset, you sound prettymuch like the right person to me.
To me the clause “be the right person” sounds very much active/action-based.
