When we receive feedback with an open heart, it is easier to look in the mirror and improve.

Why do most managers and executives have trouble "coaching" their teams to higher levels of peformance? Why is it that so few companies spend NOTHING on training managers and executives how to coach, inspire, delegate, assign, and give feedback?
Everyone pays lipservice to the idea of leading/managing teams, but so few companies put their resources behind the concept of being a great place to work because of the quality of the leadership/management.
We seem to have taken the "heart" out of leading/managing and it's become a very sterile environment that just doesn't work. Trust comes from the heart, and if you're not leading, managing, coaching from that perspective, your team will NEVER trust you!

Hi, This is Brooke. Once we get down to our finalist candidates we do background checks and pull credit history. This is a legal requirement because we are a securities firm.

Brooke talks about a strategy for hiring that brings a different perspective to the equation - honesty, caring, giving - core values that are important in hiring.
What he doesn't talk about is how he extracts this information from the candidate and validates, verifies, and vets he is getting to the truth. Take the recent example of Rutgers hiring of Julie Hermann as AD after their recent controversy. She claims she was not abusive as a coach - yet there is an overwhelming public opinion and internet storm to the opposite.
How do you really know the candidate is being authentic. I think some of Brooke's points are valid - yet perhaps a little naive.
It's fine to get beyond performance and success validation in the interview to measure core traits of success and import behavioral elements - but you must have a precise, specific, validated approach to proving the candidate can support their claims.
One of the greatest failure points in hiring is wanting to believe people are good, authentic, honest, straight-forward in the interivew - the feedback I've received from presenting to over 30,000 CEOs and senior executives in the last 15 years is that it's not true. Most hiring managers believe that 100 percent of candidates lie, embellish, and exaggerate in the interview.
Do you have techniques to prevent this from happening?
