I recently asked a friend who was hiring a manager what she looks for in a candidate.

She said the first thing she looks for is candor.

The second is humility, someone willing to truly connect with the team they lead.

And third? Technical expertise.

So many people approach interviews in the exact opposite order, leading with what they know, instead of how they lead and collaborate.

Watch this short video and ask yourself...when you talk about what you do, are you just listing your skills…or are you showing people the impact you create and how you work with others?
