Question

Ji-Eun is in charge of selecting an intern for the HR department at her company. She is especially interested in identifying the candidate with the strongest possibility for leadership. After interviewing five candidates, who do you think she chooses?
a. Kaelynn, who was late to the interview and not very well-prepared but was funny and smart
b. Dennis, who was introverted but reacted well when the interview was interrupted by an important phone call
c. Carlotta, who bragged about having gone to an Ivy League school and ended up sort of taking over the interview
d. Rosemary, who was smart and sharp but was self-deprecating and shy when asked to talk about herself
e. Qasim, who did not have quite as much experience but was sharp and outgoing and showed an extreme willingness to learn

Answer 1

Answer:

e. Qasim, who did not have quite as much experience but was sharp and outgoing and showed an extreme willingness to learn

Explanation:

Analyzing the above options, the candidate with the most suitable profile for what Ji-Eun seeks is the candidate Qasim, who has an insightful and outgoing personality combined with an extreme desire to learn. The fact that the candidate does not have so much experience would not be so important for the selection of an intern, but his personality characteristics showed that this candidate has a greater possibility of leadership due to the others.

An effective leader must be perceptive and have communication skills, always in search of self-development and new knowledge, seeking to be an example of ethics and productivity for his team, encouraging and assisting in the good practices of a job well done.
