Let me help your organization get more done with the same effort, with improved morale, to a higher level of quality, through discovery and correction of non-obvious and subtle gaps in your approach to work.
Any answer beside "you can't" is wrong. Why? Because people don't use statistics and probabilities to make decisions. They decide based on emotion, thus any logical pretzel you concoct won't withstand a real-world test. Any student of history knows that some people will sacrifice themselves or others and will attempt efforts with a perceived zero chance of success, e.g., WWII POW escapes. And, from the question below, we know the people who are deciding are murderers, people who killed others without justification, and they have been caught. They're not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier and demonstrate emotion-driven behavior. This is the problem with theory: it may not work in practice because it's based on invalid assumptions, e.g., people always make rational decisions. More important: does the mindset behind using such questions indicate a bias towards hiring people who believe the map (theory) is always more correct than the territory (actual results)? in short, a preference for pedantry over practicality? Be mindful of the natural tendency to hire people we believe are like us... and that an organization comprised of people who think alike because they share the same educational and career background is not diverse despite representing a spectrum of racial/ethnic backgrounds. Hire people who are willing to respectfully challenge groupthink, not people who want to give the "right" answer. #theory #management #consulting
