Personality and values play an important role in an individual's work life. It is important to understand your own personality and behavior to advance your career and advance in management and leadership positions.

Companies go to great lengths assessing individual differences and personality when hiring new employees. One of the most difficult parts of any job can be managing employees. From your own experiences as an employee or leader, consider the following questions:

• 1. How would you describe a "perfect" supervisor?
• 2. How would you describe a "perfect" team member?
• 3. What are two interview questions that you think are important to ask employees during an interview to ensure fit with a team? Think of questions that do not focus on technical or hard skills, but questions that give you insight to the candidate's personality.

• 4. From your own work or educational experiences, what implications have you viewed about hiring the wrong person in an organization?
