[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 2361938, member: 166"] I'll remember that post when the same question is asked of a candidate for a technical support role... ;) [USER=3753]@Dangerous Deere[/USER] Farm managers have to be a jack-of-all-trades then usually end up being master of none of them! Flexibility is key. Leading by example is a good way of motivating staff though. They have to be able to roll their sleeves up and fill any gaps. Thinking on your feet - give a scenario and ask how they would work through it. I echo the comments above about man management. Ask about a staff problem and how they solved it. If your business is big enough, they will spend most of their time dealing with people. Technical skill is one thing but failure to communicate this makes those skills useless What hobbies do they have? Do they have a life outside the job? What does their partner do? Future plans?
