Takeaways of Note:
1. Does the candidate have the skills to be a high-performing contributor or the skills to be an effective leader? …Great leaders remain open and adapt, no matter how experienced they are. They succeed because they are able to continually learn.
2. Can I really trust this candidate’s individual performance measures?
3. Am I looking forward or backward? …secret to selecting great leaders is to predict the future, not to reward the past.
