the essential skills required to lead clients safely
in the activity.

Good judgment is:

an outcome to a situation.
• Making the right decision that leads to a
positive outcome given a set of circumstances.
“A leader with limited knowledge and superior judgment
is better than one with vast knowledge and little
judgment.”
Paul Petzoldt
24. Interviewing for Determining Sound Judgment
Case Method
Rafting Trip - A group of nine adults (male and female,
married and single) are proceeding down the Green River on a
multi-day paddling rafting trip in mid-summer. Among
participants there is a wide range of physical fitness, interest
and enthusiasm for the experience. One out-of-shape male is
complaining to the group about having to paddle long distances
and the un-comfortableness of camping and being outdoors. His
wife is the opposite -very fit, risk taker and an adventurist.
Among the singles from the start of the trip one male is paying
a great amount of attention to a very attractive female and she
does not welcome his advances. By Day three, the group is
starting to notice that a particular single male and female keep
disappearing during break and camp set-ups.
25. Backpacking – In the late morning of day one of a
backpacking trip in the Lewis and Clark National Forest, a 21
year old male is experiencing shortness of breath and an
irregular heartbeat. The group leader assumes that the young
man is out of shape. The group continues on and by the
afternoon the young man is lagging way behind with real
difficulty in breathing.
Canoeing - On a canoeing trip in the Southeastern United
States in July at 2:30 PM, a group is traveling down a river
about to enter a long, wide lake. The plan is to cross the six-
mile lake and camp for the night on the shore.
26. Interviewing Questions:
1. What is your appraisal of the situation?
2. What are your specific concerns?
3. What actions need to be taken?
27. “Judge a person by his questions
rather
than by his answers.”
Voltaire
28. Final Candidate Selection
1. Does the candidate fit and will he/she enhance the company
culture ?
2. Does the candidate have the required skills and experience to
safely lead clients?
3. Does the candidate have the maturity and judgment to
foresee potential hazards?
4. Does the candidate have the personality and ability to work
within guidelines
Next step: Invite the Candidate to your training programs
