Advanced Interview Techniques! Why you should never use "Overt" Job Interview Questions!
How to create your own "Covert" Questions instead!
But do candidates always tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth? No they do NOT!
+++
How do you find out, about someone's beliefs? (not to be confused with religion)
These are vital information you need to know, to base your hiring decisions upon! For example, you don't want to hire any individuals who believe "the world should revolve around me!" do you? but how do you find out if that's their belief?

Interviewing candidate, is EXACTLY like police detective, interviewing people:
Detective: "Your wife was killed last night. Did you do it?"
Suspect: "No I did not do it."
Detective: "OK, it's not him, because he said no."
That is NOT how detective solve cases!
This is why, you can NOT use "Overt" job interview questions!
This is why you need to Master the skill of Covert Job Interview Questions!
+++
Overt questions, especially those supplied by HR, are answers we are trying to obtain.
For example: "Are you a good employee?" That's what we are trying to find out, but that should never be the wording of the question!
This is why, you MUST use "Covert" job interview questions! Questions that appear to be asking one thing, but are designed to find out another thing.

Q: Why do "Traditional Management Training Programs" no longer work when you need to turn your managers into today's leaders?
A: Traditional Management Training Programs focus on the "what": "what needs to be done". Traditional Management Training Programes do not teach the "How". "How to get your human employees to want to do what you need them to do." Traditional Management Training Programs either ignore all the human factors, or treat humans like objects, for example: obedient robots.
Coach Michael Lin is known for the effectiveness of his leadership teaching. He utilizes seminars, workshops and one-on-one coaching to turn your managers into real effective leaders!
His leadership seminar students love his unique teaching content, as well as his unique teaching method. He is the best, at:
+++
The "Effectiveness" of a seminar, is:
• Not measured by "Posh Production";
• Not measured by "Flashy & Pretty Seminar Presenter";
• But measured by "New skills obtained by students".
+++
Examples:
Ineffective Business Leadership Seminars, would lecture attendees:
Effective Business Leadership Seminars, would actually:
+++
Q: Too often, a Keynote is delivered as a memorized script, a well rehearsed act, with overly exaggerated body movements and voice inflections, completely memorized down to the tiniest move of the finger, smallest change in the tone of voice and even the exact duration of each pause, which makes it acting not teaching. Should a Keynote be an actor acting? Or a teacher teaching?
A: People come to hear a Keynote, to learn something! If they wanted to see a well rehearsed act for their entertainment, they'd go to a concert or a theatre! Recall the best teachers you've ever had, they were teachers teaching not actors acting! Imagine schools replaced "math teachers" with "math actors" for your kids! Parents will NOT accept that! So don't act, teach! Sure, make the teaching Inspirational not painful, Enagaging & Entertaining not boring... but teach don't act!
Q: Upon completion of the speech, should the Keynote presenter leave and disappear?
A: Absolutely NOT!!! The attendees have questions! Questions about business leadership that are not only holding them back, but also: they only feel comfortable asking in private but never in public :-( And it's by answering these types of questions, after the presentation, at the back of the room, outside in the hallway... that the presenter makes the greatest positive impact to your organization!

Key Takeaways from his leadership seminars and workshops:
1: What makes other people tick? Employees who report to us? Our peer managers & leaders? Outside customers? Outside vendors? Shareholders? Upper management?
2: How to identify the right incentives - for other people? Why should we not confuse “the right incentive for ourselves" with "the right incentive for others”? How to utilize our insights into short term vs long term pain & pleasure to influence, persuade and help others, to create Win/Win outcomes for everyone?
3: How to advance our own careers, by going out of our way to: help others?! solve other people's problems?! Why do we need to understand the big picture of the corporation (not just "my department") and solve problems for the entire corporation?
4: "Software Upgrade" in our heads, from employee thinking (my hours for my salary), into business thinking: what do customers need and want? how to provide goods/services for customers? What hardware & human capabilities do we have? how to inspire employees to want to give their best - using non monetary incentives? How to create win/win for everyone? customers, shareholders, employees, and managers/leaders?
5: Why Confidence Building by practicing Fear Busting is the key to Self Development? How can we constantly expand our comfort zone, by doing things we know we should do, but don't do - due to fear?

We have all attended those waste of time seminars that are:
1. Boring;
2. Lacking useful content;
3. Not able to solve any problems - problems that were the reason why training was organized to address and resolve;
4. Refusing or not able to answer questions from attendees;
5. Spent all day lecturing the attendees on "What to accomplish" & "What ability you must have";
6. But never taught the attendees "How to accomplish what they need to accomplish"; and never taught any of the skills the attendees are supposed to "must have";
7. The entire so-called "training" was designed "For Show" and or "For Formality": just going through the Bureaucratic Motions so everyone can say: "see, we conducted training".
Why bring another one of those waste of time seminars to your company? And force employees to endure the ordeal?
Be a real hero, bring a seminar that your employees will:
And when leaders improve? everyone in the company gets to enjoy the benefits: from team members to shareholders! And all of them will be thanking you for organizing training that's useful!
