OK, I understand the predicament you are in.  Your bosses are telling you to "handle it" and the person you are supposed to train doesn't seem interested.  You are between a rock and a hard place.  But, you have an option!  It looks to me like your bosses are giving you the power to make some tough decisions in this delicate situation.  So, do the best you can to "handle it", and take advantage of this great opportunity to show you can take over responsibility and control of the situation!  Remember, the bosses want you to handle it - you are responsible for making it happen.  Like the Nike commercial...Just Do It!  However, do it so your bosses are aware of the decisions you have made in training this person.  To keep them in the loop, give them current status of the issues you are up against and the options, solutions and decisions you've made or plan to make to solve the problem.  If they are in the know, you won't get your butt caught in a sling later down the road.  



You will do very well, I'm sure.  Good luck with training the "bag-o-hammers" -- we all hate training people, but it's gotta be done.  Please let us know how things pan out.
