you are welcome. I like the idea of helping in business.

It indeed helps in hiring people and also to talk to them when they want certain things from the company.
I had once a talk to one woman who wanted to have a raise in salary. So I draw a little christmas tree with three branches on each side. And I told her: "Look, those are your tasks and responsibilities within the company. Getting more money means that on both sides two more branches will being added. They mean "X" and "Y". Are you willing to take those two more? Please think about the question over the weekend." She did, came back and told me that she did not want to take them.

I met a fellow business owner a while ago who also had some very unique interview/ questioning techniques that I've since stolen to apply to my own questioning techniques. He asked very simple questions such as "what annoys you?" or "if you could fix one thing in the world, what would it be?"

Great. I love it when people get it very simple. Your examples are impressive, I like the last question for it's unusual nature and the first one for its simplicity.

Stealing from the good ones is a must :))
