So how do you determine, during an interview, if the candidate has a strong sense of mission about their work and also feel that they have much personal autonomy? Perhaps the second piece happens after they're hired when you give them the autonomy, but it seems like a strong sense of mission isn't enough -- they need to be able to execute on it either through their own actions or by influencing others. And, of course, you need to find some whose mission aligns with the needs of your company.
