Answer : 

What team characteristics (or lack of) do you think could “sink” a boat of very talented individuals? 
Being as specific as possible, what factors might account for how the 2001–2002 Army Crew 

Team JV boat—consisting of the bottom eight rowers on the team—frequently beat the Varsity boat? 

Would you allocate rowers to the boats in the same way that Coach Preczewski did? What 

other options exist? 

Can you think of other examples where the best group of individuals has lower performance 

as a team than do less talented teams? 

Herb Brooks, head coach of the famous American Olympic hockey team that defied extraordinary odds and won the Olympic Gold Medal against a far superior team from the Soviet

Question 3：（1 page，1 reference）
The unfortunate reality is that a monkey, throwing darts at a list of candidates on the wall, would have a chance of finding the best performer on that list roughly equal to many of the selection methods commonly in use today. Chief among the culprits is the unstructured interview (for example: Tell me about yourself? What are your greatest weaknesses? Why did you pick your major? And so forth) which is among the most widely used forms of interviewing. While you have been interviewed in that way for all your jobs to date, you personally want to do better and conduct more useful interviews. So how should you go about increasing the effectiveness of your interviews? What are the major differences between unstructured and structured interviews? How should you frame your questions?
