What One Thing Can You

I Do Interview Senior Candidates At The Home Office Or Many Of Our Hotel Or Restaurant General Manager Candidates. My Two Favorite Questions Are "tell Me About A Failure In Your Career, What You Learned From It, And How You've Leveraged This Lesson" And "all Of Us Are Misperceived At One Time Or Another. What's The Most Common Way You're Misperceived In The Workplace And Why?" Both Of These Questions Require A Certain Amount Of Self-awareness And A Willingness To Not Give Pat, Normal Answers That We Offer Experience In Interviews.

Maybe Its Time We Get A Toolbox That Doesnt Just Count Whats Easily Counted, The Tangible In Life, But Actually Counts What We Most Value, The Things That Are Intangible.

Feeling Good About Your Life, But Not Expressing A Heartfelt 'thank You,' Is Like Wrapping A Gift For Someone And Never Giving It To Them.

We Rigidify Our Self-image To Portray A Certain Identity To The World, Which Is One Of The Key Impediments To Authenticity.

When The World Is In The Midst Of Change, When Adversity And Opportunity Are Almost Indistinguishable, This Is The Time For Visionary Leadership And When Leaders Need To Look Beyond The Survival Needs Of Those They're Serving.
