COO Interview Question:

Suppose you owned the company, what would you change?

Submitted by: Muhammad

One of my favourite questions when hiring a new employee is ‘If you owned the company, what would you change?'. This is particularly awesome as you get to watch the interviewee think of a logical answer without offending the company itself. Of course when the question is asked, I'm looking for a genuine answer, it this question which will sometimes decided who is hired and who isn't.

The employee should understand this is business and it is cut throat, if they see a flaw in something they should speak up
