Had to stop myself from tossing a new hire into the fryer today

I used to think showing new people the ropes meant correcting every little mistake instantly, but after watching a veteran coworker just let a kid fumble through a rush and then casually show him one trick for timing chicken drops, I realized I was just making everyone nervous for no reason. Anyone else find that holding back and letting them fail a bit actually teaches faster?

Three years as a trainer taught me that barking corrections just makes them lock up. Letting them screw up a small batch and then showing them the fix actually sticks way better.

Last time I held back, new guy dropped an entire tray of tenders.
