The document discusses a technique called precision questioning for identifying top performers during phone screens. It involves focusing recruitment questions on specific areas where top performers excel and can demonstrate mastery. The recruiter should provide some key facts to the candidate and ask an open-ended question that requires deducing additional details and proposing innovative solutions. This tests the candidate's ability to think beyond surface-level answers and identify non-obvious, optimal solutions even under pressure.

20. Jack Welch Quotes The team with the best players wins My main job was developing talent. I was a gardener providing water and other nourishment to our top 750 people. Of course, I had to pull out some weeds, too. The essence of competitiveness is liberated when we make people believe that what they think and do is important - and then get out of their way while they do it. The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%. If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them. If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete.
