Like summer temperatures, the labor market is red-hot right now. And as organizations add new positions — to the tune of 33% according to the 2022 Demand for Skilled Talent report — it’s vital that their current goals come through during the interview process.
As CEO of an accelerated-learning company, I’ve co-developed interview techniques to meet the hiring needs of organizations like Delta, Samsung and Novartis.

1. How would you define innovation?
2. Can you name someone who successfully simplified a complex business or industry?

4. What’s an example of a disruptive question that you’ve asked in the workplace?
5. In your opinion, which managerial habits fuel complexity? How would you seek to break the cycle?
6. Similarly, when you encounter someone who needlessly complicates everything they touch, how do you respond?
