I was being interviewed for a CFO position. I, of course, had a great resume, financial and accounting great background, a managerial experience. I was asked what best prepared me to be a good manager, and I told them it was actually the years I had spent training horses. You learn how to motivate the horse and get them to want to do what you want. After awhile one of my interviewers told me that answer was one of the main reasons they hired me.
