         Get creative and use these questions in a variety of ways! Suggestions:

         • Fine-tune or change them so they fit you better

         • Use the concepts in creating your interview questions

         • Use the concepts in questions you ask reference providers

         • Turn them into a rating system for narrowing down your final candidate selections

         Take special notice here that all of these questions begin with HOW. Typically, it's not WHAT the manager does that creates issues; it's HOW he/she goes about it that can open the door to disaster. People join companies or businesses, but they leave because of their managers.
