Here is the best interview question I hear of in a long time. This get right at the heart of what motivated someone. For management and teams you want people who can work together and the best kind of people who work well together are those people which are define a givers. These are people who look for ways to help others succeed, not only worry about their own success. Takers are the ones you do not want, they tend to destroy organizations since they only worry about want is in it for them.
The question is: Name 4 people who they help with their careers,
The giver will tell you about people below them and peers,
The take will tell you only about people who were above them, the classic ass kisser.
This question came from a person who spent his entire career working with organization and helping them build successful careers and he found that this questions roots out the bad apples.
