-- Grace under fire: I always love to ask folks I interview "what was your biggest mistake and how did you recover". The person who can be the cause and the solution (or at least a major player in it) and knows to "ask for help" is someone you want on your team. Folks who cry in a corner or "hide it" aren't the people you want to hire.
