From the Paper:

"First, you must clearly state the role and responsibility of the job to the new hire. This means have a clear and effective job description for the person. Make certain they know exactly what the job role entails. This allows you to discuss the skills and abilities the job requires and compare with the new hire skills, knowledge, and ability. Too many times, a foreman assumes that a person knows the job and already has the skills."
