"Know yourself well. A question I ask people in interviews is, 'How would you describe who you are, in the core of your DNA, in one word?' People often struggle with that.

"I ask 'why' a lot, to learn what motivated people to make the decisions they made throughout their career...I also spend a lot of time forcing people to prioritize things. I’ll ask people what they think are the most important traits to be successful in the role they’re interviewing for, and then prioritize them for me. And I’ll ask them why they prioritize them that way. If they do that well, I know they’re going to fit in our culture."
