Management is as much as science as it is an art. You can train to be a great leader, but there are those to whom things come natural, and those that are simply made for management.
\nWe see this problem in manager recruitment. You can find someone that looks amazing on paper \u2013 and indeed, they are probably a good manager. But ideally, you don\u2019t want just \u201cgood.\u201d You want someone that is going to genuinely excel. For that, you may need to identify who has the \u201cart\u201d of management.

But when you narrow your list of candidates down to the last few, you\u2019ll then need to identify which one has the problem solving ability and critical thinking skills that you want most for the role.

Consider the following questions:<\/p>\n
These questions all help illustrate the types of questions you can ask to managerial candidates to learn more about their character, and to start really understanding the type of manager that they\u2019ll be.
\nBut before you can get to this part of the interview, you first have to get to the candidates. For those in Australia that need help with their recruitment, contact Recruit Shop today.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
