Smart Lemming points us to an interesting article on Wall Street Journal’s Career Journal titled, “15 Questions For Setting A Career Change in Motion” by Eileen P. Gunn.

This is a “must read” article but my favorite question is:

“Think of the worst boss you ever had. What made him or her bad to work for? What did you learn to not do from him or her?”

The answer to this question is a window into the employee’s soul.  You not only get to see what they view as “bad” when it comes to bosses, you also get to see how they react to adversity.

I like it.  I like it a lot.
