This week’s 3 To Thrive includes questions to consider when interviewing, how to make strong decisions (without suffering ‘buyer’s remorse’ afterwards), and a model for growing a team, department, or organization. Be sure to connect on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for additional resources throughout the week!
1. Interviews. Numerous resources exist to help with interview preparation, but search committees and hiring managers are getting more and more creative in order to understand your skills and who you are as a person. This Business Insider article highlights what 23 leaders – including Richard Branson, Alexa von Tobel, and Michelle Peluso – consider their favorite interview questions. Great for participants on either side of the table.
2. Decisions. Our first discussion in the ASPIRE Success Club revolved around the book 10-10-10 by Suzy Welch. Simple but profound, Welch provides a tool to help make strong decisions by considering consequences 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years from now. A good summary can be found here.
3. Appreciative Inquiry. I have used the appreciative inquiry (AI) model in my work since first learning about it in my coach training years ago. Rather than focusing on problems, AI encourages leaders to put their attention first on what things look like when they’re at their best, then design future steps from there. David Cooperrider’s work has served as a foundation for this organizational development approach – get an overview and links to further resources here.
