Sometimes (nearly always in my profession) there is not enough money in jobs to allow someone to muddle their way through a with the hope they have the observational/communication skills to not only get up to speed but be productive against targets. I find it’s best to simply insist that they do it (the job) my way (company established practices) first, then after experiencing the task encourage them to come back and challenge me with sound logical reasoning as to why my way can be improved upon. They should have real world examples of how to save time by either doing it faster or by eliminating entire steps or saving or replacing material. If they can do that then I make the change immediately company wide. If they can’t then they should just stick to the system and do it my way. It’s been rigorously tested in real time and works. This approach takes A LOT of good communication and relational skills as well as trust in people that are not out to scam. Quite the opposite of your observation.
