Most people walk into interviews praying they’ll have the perfect answers.
My client walked in with the perfect questions and the panel never saw it coming

Why My Client Walked Out as the Obvious Choice

My client didn’t believe me.
They didn’t believe questions could change the tone of an interview.

Yet… they paid me 😉

We prepped for a gnarly panel interview.
The kind where everyone stares at you, takes notes, and tries to find your weak spots.

Instead of rehearsing perfect answers, we built perfect questions.

Here’s what they walked in with:

1. To help accelerate the Lean journey you're leading, which 2-3 stakeholder roles outside of Supply Chain would you consider essential partners for me in this role - and what makes their buy-in critical to sustaining improvements across functions?

2. We spoke about a leadership style that includes empowerment, experimentation, and investing in people - how do you balance that freedom with the structure needed to deliver consistent supply chain performance at scale?

3. After the 90-day relationship-building period, what is the one shift-either in mindset or behavior-that you most want this role to help drive within the team, and how would you define success when that shift starts to take hold?

4. With your deep experience across the organization, how do you envision building a culture of continuous improvement in an office environment - where value creation isn’t always visible - and how could this role support that vision?

The magic?
They tailored each question to the person asking it.

When these landed, the room shifted.
Interviewers paused. Faces flushed.
They didn’t have perfectly polished answers… and they knew it.

Suddenly, my client wasn’t just another candidate.
They were the person who could solve the unsolved.

And in that moment, they became the obvious choice.

3 questions to gut check the amount of “work” you’re doing:

1. When was the last time I said “no” to an activity or a person?

2. Who am I hanging around when I’m fully focused?

3. If I had to share my daily tasks with someone in the role I want to be in, what would they say?
