What does it truly mean to be a critical thinker? With insights drawn from experts at Harvard Business Review and a pivotal McKinsey study, this episode unveils the layers of critical thinking in the hiring process. We navigate the labyrinth of sourcing and assessing information from myriad sources, and how this skill set is no longer a 'nice-to-have' but a 'must-have' for potential recruits. But don't mistake this for creativity - we pinpoint the fine line distinguishing critical and creative thinking, while engaging with the fascinating eight traits that kindle curiosity, including the art of active listening and the essence of self-drivenness.
Ever wondered about the science of asking the right questions? Our episode ventures into the four cardinal types of interview queries - factual, convergent, divergent, and evaluative. We unravel the nuances of framing, interpreting, and summarizing, and how this trio can amplify the quality of discussions with aspiring candidates. Active listening, probing beyond surface-level questions, and forming an engaging narrative based on the scenario are all in play here.
Lastly, we plunge into the heart of a successful business - a curious culture. We discuss how diversity can add more colors to this culture, paving the way for a breed of creative thinkers. At the same time, we reminisce about the inquisitive nature we were all born with, often cast aside in the hustle of education and professional life. One question to reignite this curiosity - "how do we grow?". As we tie it all together, we share pearls of wisdom on acing business interviews and the importance of questions that unmask a candidate's true character. So gear up to stay ambitious, innovative, and curious.
