This works both ways. When I was much younger and in my first jobs I found that there were some very poor communicators. It often happened that the person who was supposed to be supervising me didn't explain exactly what I was supposed to be doing, how to do it, and by when. I felt completely adrift and let down.

Dear colleagues: if you want to get the right performance out of someone you need to enthuse them, explain things to them, be willing and glad to answer questions and take time over them.
