Have you ever hired a mistake, by mistake? What did it cost you? How did it affect your good performers? Your reputation with your boss?

You are the boss now, the most important skill you need to master, is the ability to hire the right employees!

But do candidates always tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth? No they do NOT!

1. Why is it, that bad employees often perform so well at job interviews?
2. What is the mindset of good employees?
3. What is the mindset of bad employees?
4. How do you find out, what a candidate’s mindset is?

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

How do you find out, about someone’s beliefs?

1. Real, true beliefs?
2. Real, true bliefs that are like cards that poker players hold very close to their chests while keeping a poker face?
3. Belief about work? life? career?
4. Belief about ethic? work ethic? Belief about fairness? collaboration? cooperation?
5. Belief about contribution vs reward?

These are vital information you need to know, to base your hiring decisions upon! For example, you don’t want to hire any individuals who believe “the world should revolve around me!” do you? but how do you find out if that’s their belief?

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

1. Did you know, bad employees are playing a different level of a game?
2. Did you know, bad employees are running “Covert Operations” on you?
3. Did you know, as a manager, if you don’t know what the bad employees are doing, the bad employees can run circles around you?
4. Do you know the game bad employees are playing on you? on your mind? on your thinking? on your psychology?
5. Do you understand, the nature of the psychological dirty game, bad employees are playing, on your heart and mind?

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

1. Why you must attract the right crowd? What happens when you attract the wrong crowd?
2. Are you accidentally attracting the wrong crowd without knowing?
3. How do you filter out all the wrong candidates, and only filter in the right candidates?

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

Interviewing candidate, is EXACTLY like police detective, interviewing people:

Detective: “Your wife was killed last night. Did you do it?”

Suspect: “No I did not do it.”

Detective: “OK, it’s not him, because he said no.”

That is NOT how detective solve cases!

This is why, you can NOT use “Overt” job interview questions!

This is why you need to Master the skill of Covert Job Interview Questions!

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

Overt questions, especially those supplied by HR, are answers we are trying to obtain.

For example: “Are you a good employee?” That’s what we are trying to find out, but that should never be the wording of the question!

This is why, you MUST use “Covert” job interview questions! Questions that appear to be asking one thing, but are designed to find out another thing.

Bring High Quality Business Leadership Training to your Company!

Q: Why does “Traditional Management Training” no longer work when you need to turn your managers into today’s leaders?

A: Traditional Management Training focuses on the “what“: “what needs to be done” & “what are the processes to get things done”. Traditional Management Training does not teach today’s leaders the “How“. “How to get your human employees to want to do what you need them to do.” Traditional Management Training either ignores all the human factors, or treats humans like objects, for example: obedient robots.

Coach Michael Lin is known for the effectiveness of his leadership teaching. He utilizes seminars, workshops and one-on-one coaching to turn your managers into real effective leaders!

His leadership seminar students love his unique teaching content, as well as his unique teaching method. He is the best, at:

● Discovering what is in people’s blindspot that is holding them back, causing internal conflicts deep down inside;

● Effectively teaching his students new ways of understanding their situations, therefore helping them to resolve the conflicts in their thinking, so they can become more productive – instantly!

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

The “Effectiveness” of a seminar, is:

• Not measured by “Posh Production”;
• Not measured by “Flashy & Pretty Seminar Presenter”;
• But measured by “New skills obtained by students”.

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

Examples:

Ineffective Business Leadership Seminars, would lecture attendees:

• “You lack confidence, you need to be confident” without teaching the “how”;
• “Don’t hire the wrong people!” but won’t mention the “how”;
• “Communicate effectively!” but don’t teach the “how”.

Effective Business Leadership Seminars, would actually:

• Help attendees to actually become more confident – during the seminar, and know how to help themselves to constantly becoming even more confident long after the seminar;
• Help attendees to learn the skills to attract the right job applicant, and filter in the best applicants using advanced interview skills;
• Teach attendees to influence and persuade, so their team members would want to do what needs to be done!

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

Q: Too often, a Keynote is delivered as a memorized script, a well rehearsed act, with overly exaggerated body movements and voice inflections, completely memorized down to the tiniest move of the finger, smallest change in the tone of voice and even the exact duration of each pause, which makes it acting not teaching. Should a Keynote be an actor acting? Or a teacher teaching?

A: People come to hear a Keynote, to learn something! If they wanted to see a well rehearsed act for their entertainment, they’d go to a concert or a theatre! Recall the best teachers you’ve ever had, they were teachers teaching not actors acting! Imagine schools replaced “math teachers” with “math actors” for your kids! Parents will NOT accept that! So don’t act, teach! Sure, make the teaching Inspirational not painful, Enagaging & Entertaining not boring… but teach don’t act!

Q: Upon completion of the speech, should the Keynote presenter leave and disappear?

A: Absolutely NOT!!! The attendees have questions! Questions about business leadership that are not only holding them back, but also: they only feel comfortable asking in private but never in public 🙁 And it’s by answering these types of questions, after the presentation, at the back of the room, outside in the hallway… that the presenter makes the greatest positive impact to your organization!

BIO:

Coach Michael Lin came out of the tech industry, and uses his superb analytical skills to dissect business challenges.

He has deep insights into human nature, which he uses to help people to solve their business challenges. His analysis and solutions are all based on Emotional Intelligence, not on how we wish humans ought to be, but based on what humans actually are.

Managers & Leaders from over 500 organizations across many industries have attended seminars and workshops taught by Coach Michael Lin. Example industries are:

– Airports

– Automobile Manufacturers

– Aviation Companies

– Banks & Credit Unions

– Casinos

– Charities

– Churches

– Courts (State and County)

– Fire, Police & Sheriff Depts

– Food Companies

– Governments

– Hospitals

– Hotel Chains

– Insurance Companies

– Railroad Companies

– School Districts

– Technology Companies

– Universities

– Etc Etc.

Key Takeaways from his leadership seminars and workshops:

1: What makes other people tick? Employees who report to us? Our peer managers & leaders? Outside customers? Outside vendors? Shareholders? Upper management?

2: How to identify the right incentives – for other people? Why should we not confuse “the right incentive for ourselves” with “the right incentive for others”? How to utilize our insights into short term vs long term pain & pleasure to influence, persuade and help others, to create Win/Win outcomes for everyone?

3: How to advance our own careers, by going out of our way to: help others?! solve other people’s problems?! Why do we need to understand the big picture of the corporation (not just “my department”) and solve problems for the entire corporation?

4: “Software Upgrade” in our heads, from employee thinking (my hours for my salary), into business thinking: what do customers need and want? how to provide goods/services for customers? What hardware & human capabilities do we have? how to inspire employees to want to give their best – using non monetary incentives? How to create win/win for everyone? customers, shareholders, employees, and managers/leaders?

5: Why Confidence Building by practicing Fear Busting is the key to Self Development? How can we constantly expand our comfort zone, by doing things we know we should do, but don’t do – due to fear?

Coach Michael Lin In The Media:

Here are over a dozen media interviews, in which Coach Michael Lin answers tough questions from journalists on leadership:

• Are you an “enabler” without realizing it?
• Are you unintentionally attracting bad job applicants?
• Are you helping or are you harming Millennials and GenZers?
• How managers can advance their own careers in leadership by obtaining coaching skills?
• How to be socially responsible when it comes to hiring?
• How to create bonding and hence loyalty from your employees to yourself that will last a lifetime?
• How to unite your team?
• What are some of the biggest redflags you need to watchout for?
• What are some of the key beliefs about leadership that are holding older managers back??
• What is the responsible thing to do with people who refuse to accept “personal responsibility“?
• What’s missing in Managerial Culture?
• Who should NOT be allowed to work from home?
• Why employers must make employees feel the relationship is not mere transactional?

More Comments from attendees:

• ” I am 57 years old and I’ve attended a lot of seminars in my time. Today’s seminar has been the best, and I have attended a lot of seminars, I mean a lot.“
• “You know, attending a seminar can be hit or miss. Today’s seminar was definitely a hit.”
• “My colleagues at work just texted me and asked me if I am bored being stuck in a seminar. I texted them back telling them: ‘Surprisingly not, even though I was expecting it to be just another boring waste of time seminar. I am actually learning a lot of useful information and the learning process is actually fun!’ I also told my colleagues back in the office: ‘You guys should all be here! having fun and learning useful info at the same time!’ “

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

We have all attended those waste of time seminars that are:

1. Boring;
2. Lacking useful content;
3. Not able to solve any problems – problems that were the reason why training was organized to address and resolve;
4. Refusing or not able to answer questions from attendees;
5. Spent all day lecturing the attendees on “What to accomplish” & “What ability you must have”;
6. But never taught the attendees “How to accomplish what they need to accomplish”; and never taught any of the skills the attendees are supposed to “must have”;
7. The entire so-called “training” was designed “For Show” and or “For Formality”: just going through the Bureaucratic Motions so everyone can say: “see, we conducted training”.

Why bring another one of those waste of time seminars to your company? And force employees to endure the ordeal?

Be a real hero, bring a seminar that your employees will:

• Actually learn useful info that they’ve been craving for, for the info can help them to solve their real life problems!
• Enjoy the learning process, for the learning process is inspirational not painful;
• Thank you and think of you as their BIG hero!

And when leaders improve? everyone in the company gets to enjoy the benefit: from team members to shareholders! And all of them will be thanking you for organizing training that’s useful!
