What are the worst parts of you?
I'm lucky to interview a lot of people as part of what I do. Great to hear the stories.
One question that I ask of people going into a senior role is:
“We have spent a lot of time understanding the good parts of you. We all have demons. What are the parts of you that you don’t like? What are the worst parts of you?”
A few answers over years: “My addiction to alcohol” “I don’t spend enough time with my kids” “My arrest for barbiturates”
