Nice one!

I'm sure there must be some companies today starting interviews almost like this, though they must be very very few.

This blog post resonates with me because, beyond hiring people, I think companies could really look at the personal effectiveness of their employees. A while back I had that idea and started jotting down some possible questions to do such a survey (http://goo.gl/rq9O6). I thought my employer of the time - a very innovative almost network-like company - would be game. But I was then told that 'we have more important things to do and use our resources for than a personal effectiveness survey'. Duh...

So much for a wasted opportunity to do real good.

Anyhow, as we keep pushing for this sort of messages, and as companies - by themselves or by force - realise that they need to review their business reflexes inherited from the Tayloristic era, I am sure more and more people will come to realise the value of personal learning and KM for the greater good. So perhaps the time for these meaningful interviews is not that far off any longer...

Cheers,
Ewen?
