- Determine the candidate’s interest in professional growth and development – if they’re not interested, don’t waste your time.
- Define the candidate’s Behavior, Attitude, Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Talent.
- Identify their areas of interest as well as their areas of strength –it’s important to note that every leadership position does not require great salesmanship.
- Observe and assess performance.
