Far too many people compartmentalize their lives. Work, finances, social life, etc. What's good in one area is not good in another. Take faith: not to many people keep Christ front and center when it comes to money - earning, spending, investing, and giving...

I see too many interviewers skip talking about the company's vision or talk about a vision that doesn't match the day-to-day operation of the business. I've found that it is often a better indicator of the candidate's success as an employee than almost any other question you can ask once their technical proficiency is established. I have to say that I love the way you word this question. "If I asked your current boss or past bosses about your attendance or about your promptness to work on a consistent basis what would they tell me?" Many former employers only verify dates of employment and salary history now, but I can see this question being very effective in an interview.
