Question

youre working with an experienced associate. he insists on doing the task a certain way, but you know theres a more efficient approach. what would you be most and least likely to do? pick one of each 1. talk to your manager and suggest refresher training for all associates because you notice people arent performing the tasks correctly. 2. tell him that even though his way works, you know a better way. show him your approach, and recommend he always use it going forward. 3. tell him youd like to learn more about his approach. explain that you have other ways to do the task that have worked well in the past. 4. your coworkers approach works just fine. do the task his way to avoid upsetting him.

Explanation:

For the most likely action: Choosing to learn about the associate's approach while sharing your own proven method balances respect for their experience with collaboration, fostering a constructive conversation to find the best solution.
For the least likely action: Escalating to management for refresher training skips direct collaboration with the associate, is overly confrontational, and assumes broader performance issues without first discussing the specific task with the person involved.

Answer:

Most likely: Tell him you'd like to learn more about his approach. Explain that you have other ways to do the task that have worked well in the past
Least likely: Talk to your manager and suggest refresher training for all associates because you notice people aren't performing the tasks correctly
