Think of your worst job interview experience, and I bet I could match or top it with one of mine from my decades in higher ed. I could regale you with such classic tales as the college president who granted me a two-hour interview for a vice presidential position while she was delirious with the flu or the school that put me through a grueling all-day screening for a faculty position only to announce at the end that they had always intended to hire an internal candidate. Come to think of it, both interviews were at the same college 15 years apart! I am not kidding.
Just read a book related to this topic by Patrick Lencioni that I enjoyed - "The Ideal Team Player"
