Show notes:

Interview question you can use to discover a candidates mindset: Tell me about a time the odds were stacked against you?
Tell me about one of your failures?
Tell me about the last time you went through a significant change in your current organization?
Explore further with follow up questions: Walk me through that.
Who helped with that?
Where did you come to that idea?
How did you feel about that?
How they talk about the process, and how they talk about the challenge will be a significant indication of if this person has the right mindset.
