The Dreaded (?) 100 Day Plan
Along with “why do you want this position?” and “tell us about your management style",” a top 3 type question for public sector C-suite position interviews is “what is your 100 day plan?” While perhaps a little tired and cliche, it honestly still resonates and works and is worthy of inclusion and inquiry. It’s also worthy of full contemplation and exploration by candidates. Here’s why:
The plan shows intuition, creativity, research, etc on the part of the candidate
The organization hears a little from the candidate on their perceptions, insights and vision
Both players in the interview gain a little from the other in terms of what might indeed be in store if we select each other here
Plans like this are massively important and these prompts should be posed to gain clarity on how the relationship might (will?) work, moment 1
