When advising & consulting CEOs and other leaders, Peter F. Drucker's genius was in his ability to formulate the right questions.
With respect to "picking people," or hiring and promoting the right candidates, the thought leader and founder of modern management formulated a set of questions that with proper application helps all executives make better staffing decisions.
Take, for example, the story of a Russian entrepreneur who went bankrupt because of a failed business venture.
The reason for this costly blunder? He asked the wrong hiring question and got the right answer.
