The best welder should be welding, and his boss should be trained as a foreman. It makes no sense to remove your best worker from a role they excel in to see if they are suited to another position. IF they have managerial skills, then fine. Otherwise, have them do what they are best at, and let someone else do what they are best at.

Agree wholeheartedly! I've noticed over my working life that so many people get promoted above their level of competency. So a first class welder becomes a crap foreman, and so on...
