I recently faced an interview question that left me completely lost, when it really shouldn’t of. The question was: “How do you manage a team?” While simple at first glance, I found it so open-ended that I struggled to focus on where to begin, especially being conscious of time. This experience highlighted something important: Interviews are stressful situations, and sometimes the right answers are there—candidates just need that little bit of guidance or structure to bring them out. For example, revising the question to something like “What strategies do you use to motivate and empower your team members to perform at their best, especially in challenging situations?” not only helps candidates focus but also allows them to showcase their strengths in a clearer way. In high-pressure environments, this approach can help interviewers get the best out of candidates and uncover the practical insights they might otherwise miss. A small adjustment can make a big difference in understanding someone’s leadership style and how they handle real-world challenges. #interviews #leadership #recruitment #teammanagement #jobinterviewtips
