Today’s vlog post is all about managing information overload for to preserve our mental well-being.

In it, I share my recent struggles with consuming too much news, similar to how I experienced the early days of the pandemic. I was reminded that I needed to “parent my phone.”

So, I proactively made the decision to remove the Facebook app from her home screen. Watch to learn what I replaced it with!

The higher the rank of professional you are interviewing, the more important the necessity to test this human trait, as it can reveal if a candidate has a servant leader mentality or an entitled attitude.

What about you? How do you assess your candidate’s alignment?

It begets that adage, “Hire slow, fire fast.” If we hire for fit to begin with, we save ourselves and our organizations a lot of headaches in the long run…
