Ask the Right Questions to Ensure Success

Notes to Young Leaders | 15 April 2022

To young professionals.

When I’m interviewing a candidate, I’m always hoping they’ll ask me this killer question.

“What are the 3-4 outcomes I need to deliver in the first 12 months for you to consider my recruitment a great success?”

This question tells me three things about you. You’re confident, you’re ambitious and you’re not afraid of being held accountable.

If your interviewer can’t give you a clear answer to this question, don’t accept the role.

You can’t kick goals if there are no goal posts.
