Leaders who feel frustrated with new hires not getting it are skipping one simple step. Most onboarding looks like this. Explain the task.
Maybe show it once. Then hope they understood. But hope is not a system.
Instead, give the task verbally. Then ask them to create the SOP. Write it out or record it. Now you see everything. What they understood. What they missed.
What needs to be clarified. It is faster to review their version than to guess later. And when they build it themselves, they remember it better. Onboarding should not just transfer information. It should confirm understanding.
This one shift saves time, reduces mistakes, and builds better team members. Save this to improve your onboarding process.
