What a Job Interviewer Really Wants to Know (or Should Want to Know!)

From Seth Godin's interesting and thought-provoking blog:

What good interview questions are actually trying to discover :

How long are you willing to keep pushing on a good project until you give up?
How hard is it to get you to change your mind when you're wrong?
How much do you learn from failing?
How long does it take you to learn something new?
How hard is it for you to let someone else take the lead?
How much do you care?

About Me

I am the Trustee Professor of Management at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. I joined the faculty after serving for six years on the faculty at Harvard Business School. My research, teaching, and consulting focuses on leadership, with a particular emphasis on decision-making and teams.

My newest book, Unlocking Creativity, was released in January 2019 by Wiley. I have published two previous books based upon my research: Why Great Leaders Don't Take Yes For An Answer (2nd edition, 2013), and Know What You Don't Know (2009).
