Watch Someone Drive Before You Hire Them!
We have all witnessed them – an aggressive driver behind the wheel.
Typically the characteristics of aggressive drivers include:- Tailgating
- Passing on the shoulder of the road
- Making rude gestures or shouting
- Changing lanes without signaling
- Violating traffic signals
- Weaving in and out of traffic
- Speeding
So back to the point – yesterday as I was driving to pick up my children, a ridiculous looking bald guy in the red convertible started tailgating me and making rude gestures in my rear view mirror. As he was shaking his head – it dawned on me that I would never hire this guy! He was inconsiderate, disrespectful, rude and dangerous. I would never trust him to deal with customers or to treat employees with respect and most importantly I believe that I couldn’t trust his decision making ability, as he took risks that put others in danger.
So here is what I am thinking….if we could find a way to test an individual in a high pressured situation like a traffic jam – we just may see a side of them that we wouldn’t want on our team!
