Corner Office NYT 9/5/2010

Here are some good thoughts on leadership.

Leadership is listening to people and understanding what motivates them. A new good way to lead is from the "back". It's almost more of a support role. Good qualities of a new hire are that they are honest with themselves, curious and not looking for a title.

Two great interview questions to think about.
- What do you think your really good at?
- Tell me about a challenge you've overcome and don't tell me about a work challenge.

Finally, as a leader ask a lot more questions and make a lot fewer statements.
