Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyse the situation.
- If they are counting the bricks.... put them in the accounts department.
- If they are recounting them... put them in auditing.
- If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks... put them in engineering.
- If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order... put them in planning.
- If they are throwing the bricks at each other... put them in operations.
- If they are sleeping... put them in security.
- If they have broken the bricks into pieces... put them in information technology.
- If they are sitting idle... put them in human resources.
- If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved... put them in sales.
- If they have already left for the day... put them in marketing.
- If they are staring out of the window... put them on strategic planning.
- And then last but not least... if they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved congratulate them and put them in top management.
