IF YOU WANT IT DONE WELL, DO IT YOURSELF!
I have been taught many life lessons but this one keeps repeating itself over and over.
On several occasions, I have had to do certain things myself all because I work with incompetent colleagues or should I say "I feel like they are incompetent" when in the real sense they are competent.
Humans differ In thinking and the way each person reacts to a particular situation is also different.
It's very much okay to want people stay at your beck and call while you just give the orders,but the disadvantage with this, is that these persons can never think the way you think, they aren't robots programmed to do specified things, they have conscience, they have emotions and they have their own sense of reasoning.
NO wonder the abolishment of slave trade. You can't expect a human to do exactly what you want and if something must be done exactly how you want, then you just have to do it yourself.
Are you a boss at your work place? Do you hold a public office? Are you a government official?
Be you whoever, it's time to stop being lazy, hiding under the shell of authority and start getting things done yourself, in the proper way you want it or better still, stop expecting too much from people.
The people that work around you aren't robots, so you just have to try and understand their human short comings.
The reason why that apprentice looks so lazy and ineffective might just be YOU.
Your way of doing things and his way isn't the same and should never blame him or her.
Learn to accommodate other people's differences and understand that people react and think differently.
The many problems we face in our current world is as a result of SUPERIORITY. We always want it our way regardless of what others may want or think.
It's time to buckle up my friends!
