2. "When recruiting, are you asking questions that get to someone’s capabilities or are you seeking confirming data that someone has done exactly what you have already scoped?" Sometimes the scope of the role is defined, and we are seeking this candidate to meet all the requirements to confirm that they are a fit for the position. Think outside of the box to identify and unleash the full capabilities of an individual's skill set. Is your interviewing process/questions limiting the ability to uncover the real potential of a candidate?

If employees' feel that you are blocking their progress and creativity, they will find an organization that allows them autonomy, decision-making rights and the freedom to be creative.
