Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window.
Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.
-
If they are counting the bricks - Put them in the accounts department.
-
If they are recounting them - Put them in auditing.
-
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks - Put them in engineering.
-
If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order - Put them in planning.
-
If they are throwing the bricks at each other - Put them in operations.
-
If they are sleeping - Put them in security.
-
If they have broken the bricks into pieces - Put them in information technology.
-
If they are sitting idle - Put them in human resources.
-
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved - Put them in sales.
-
If they have already left for the day - Put them in marketing.
-
If they are staring out of the window - Put them on strategic planning.
And then last but not least.
-
If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved?
Congratulate them and put them in top management.
