Never hire anyone who’s top priority is not to first understand the whys of the current situation and understands how to move forward from there.

If they have “the answer” but don’t understand the “why we are here today” their decisions should be, at the very least, suspect.

On the other hand, don’t hire who wants to understand everything first either. Sometimes a bad choice was just a bad choice, and it’s a waste of time to figure out if it was taken for a reason.
