There’s an entitlement epidemic going around. I am constantly amazed at the conclusion of my training sessions how participants just leave their trash behind for someone else to deal with it. It’s down right gross!

Want a simple way to determine if a prospect (whether it’s a job candidate or a potential consultant/vendor) is a cultural fit before you actually hire them?

Recently, I came across the “Kitchen Test” and it’s brilliant in its simplicity.

As promised, see the link here for the article: https://fortune.com/2025/04/06/job-interview-coffee-cup-test-recruiters-hiring-green-flag-red-flags/?utm_campaign=fortunemagazine&utm_source=linkedin.com&xid=soc_socialflow_linkedin_FORTUNE&utm_medium=social

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…
