Each person consists of countless features and after all individuals who are the most successful are very dynamic. But when you run a company, you often think that certain features are more vital than others. It may occur that some personality traits are more desirable to you, as a boss or some are simply more related to the work your organization is done. Regardless of this, we were interested in “obligatory” features that different leaders prioritize when they are looking for latest team members. Here we learn about six.
1. Management ability
“I am looking for the possibility of managing and predicting needs. I try to take the first personal interview in the cafe, and I deliberately come five minutes late. Theoretically they come on time, and it is interesting to see what they are doing with time. Do they get a table? Do they be outside? Do they have their own coffee or wait to see what I can see? – Sarah Doggett Evenson, founder, Marie Oliver
2. Work ethics and cultural matching
“I’m looking for two things: work ethics and cultural matching. So I ask questions that not only about what someone did, but why did it do. How:” Tell me about the time when you had to work hard than you expected – what led you? ” To assess the cultural match, I focus on how candidates interact with others. – Barbara Weichselbaum, CEO, Arbitron
3. Knowing well
“Self -awareness is the basis for growth, cooperation and effective leadership. I ask the candidates:” Can you share the time in which you received a critical opinion? How did you react and what did you learn? “Or:” Describe the situation in which you managed. – Anna Harman, co -founder and general director, Studs
4. Real warmth
“You can teach skills, but you can’t train someone who really made sure that people feel welcome. To make me check it, I focus on three things in an interview: the first impressions – welcome with a smile, making eye contact and showing real commitment; behavioral questions -” how do you cope with a regular client, but not saying, And asking myself: “Would I like to eat dinner with them, and my clients would feel at home?” “ – Dowm Hawley, franchisee, Perkins American Food Co.
5. The solution -oriented way of thinking
“I would like someone who focuses on the results and solving problems. One of the ways I show is to inform them:” Like every company, we have challenges related to communication. If you joined our team, how can you help to improve it? ” Their response gives me how they think or suggest practical solutions? – Steve Schwartz, founder and general director, The art of tea
6. Humility
“I prefer to” learn “than they know. – Jill Layfield, CEO, Birdy Gray
