Other competences.

You can use decision making skills.

You have to make a decision on DDE that takes courage.

Sometimes you need courage and skills to make the right decisions in order to meet again the company's aims and objectives and also organizational awareness.

What I mean by that is this a leader you have to be aware of, the bigger picture, and sometimes you have to make unpopular decisions that amongst your team, they might not be popular.

But you remember, are working for the organization, and they will have set aims and targets.

Okay, let's get into the sample questions and answers.

Make sure you take notes because I believe these are very solid answers for these type of team leader interview questions.

Question.

I'm a what?

Tell me about yourself and why you would make a good team leader.

Here's my sample response.

I am a hardworking, conscientious and professional leader who has the ability to get the most out of his team.

I have many years experience within similar roles, and having assessed the competence is required for this leadership role.

I feel totally confident I will be able to meet the company's mission on goals by implementing effective leadership and management skills.

One of the aspects of the team leader role I enjoy the most is being able to positively motivate and inspire a team to get the most from them From a personal perspective, I am always looking to learn and develop, and I spend some of my personal time outside of work reading development books in orderto wide on the resources of able available to me so I can continually improve as a leader.

I feel confident that if I am successful today interview, you will see a positive impact within the team as we work towards achieving the company goals and targets.

That's quite an in depth response that are broken down for you into four parts there, and that is a solid response that will get you off on the right foot for your team leader interview question on the two.

How would you motivate a team to get the most out of them?

So remember, I mentioned that one of the competences has been able to motivate your staff.

Okay, so here we go.

Here's my suggestion.

Answer.

One of the first things I would do when leading a new team is conduct individual appraisals.

This is really important in order to find out more about the team members, but to also define my expectations of them within their role and to also setting targets I would then use a combination of positive communication skills, praise when it is deserved and supported management techniques to drive the team forward to achieve our goals.

Whilst I am a firm believer in delegating tasks and responsibilities to team members based on their individual strengths, I also like to have a positive present presence within the office and encourage people to be the best they can be by providing support, guidance and regular team meetings to motivate and inspire on again.

In my opinion, another really solid answer to that team leader.

Question.

If you need to take notes, please feel free to pause the video, Take notes and you go along.

And then you can use these suggested answers in your team leader interview.

Next question.

Describe a time when you managed multiple team tasks.

So obviously, as a team leader, you're not just gonna be given one task to do.

You'll have multiple tasks.

Okay, so how you manage these is by being organized on also planning and delegating.

So here we go.

Here's the answer.

In a previous role, I was managing a small team of five people.

It was the start of the financial year, and I had six projects on the goal at once.

The projects including conducting team appraisals, achieving company targets, developing a new product of the business and also undertaking internal staff training as a team leader.

It was my job to prioritize the tasks based on importance on deliver each one to the required standard.

I achieve this by planning my week well ahead of schedule setting targets and deadlines reach team member and I also holding weekly meetings to assess progress and to also provide support solutions when needed.

H task was completed successfully on a field.

This was achieved you to proper planning on by each team member taking personal responsibility for their part off the task.

So again, really solid answer.

You notice that these are all evidence based responses.

Okay, evidence.

You're providing proof of what you can do with in that role.

Here we got next question.

Describe a time when you motivated on underperforming member of a team a really, really common on team leader interview Question.

Let's get into the arts of straight away.

Here we go.

A few years ago, I joined a new team or one of the first tasks I undertook was to carry out appraisals with each team member.

One team member in particular appeared disinterested, and his attitude towards the team goals was poor.

I started off by trying to get to know what motivated him by asking probing questions.

It soon became clear that his skills, and more importantly, his key strengths were not being utilized.

I immediately assigned him to a new project that was based on the strength and skill set.

I also gave him responsibility for overseeing the delivery of that particular project.

I immediately noticed a difference in his behavior and performance.

After four weeks, he had completed the task successfully.

In fact, he delivered the task two weeks ahead of schedule.

He went on to be an outstanding team member as a team leader is my responsibility to empower a motivate staff on?

I would achieve this by getting to know them individually on aligning tasks with their core strengths.

Okay, next question.

Tell me about a time when you made a difficult decision as a team leader.

So remember, one of the competences is decision making skills, so this is a situation or behavioral type question where you have to give a situation when you made a difficult decision.

Here we go is my suggested answer.

I want to join the team and part.

My brief was to improve their performance as they have been missing targets and deadlines.

After conducting an initial appraisal, an assessment of the team, I felt one of the senior team members, a man called Andrew had Bean, who have Bean within that particular team for many years, was not performing to the required standard.

I felt he was mainly responsible for the lack of performance do to other team members being influenced by him in order to get things back on truck.

I took Andrew out of the role he was in and replaced him with a number another member of the team who was hungry, enthusiastic and keen to impress.

Naturally, Andrew was very disappointed, but I felt this was the right decision for the interests of the team and the wider organizational goals.

In order to motivate Andrew, I asked him to work as my assistant developing internal project plans and targets.

That way I could spend time motivating him on learning more about his key strength and skills.

The decision whilst initially unpopular proved to be the right one.

I would never shy away from making difficult decisions.

The organization will always come first over individuals within it.

So that's a great solid answer.

When you made a difficult decision as a team leader and remember I mentioned at the beginning, you have to have the courage and skills to make those hard decisions.

Here's a really good question for your team leader interview.

Describe your leadership starts or what style of leadership are you?

Here's my answer.

I would say my style of leadership is a combination of transformational and strategic with the right amount of autocratic demands.

I am transformational because I feel like in turn on underperforming team around relatively quickly, and I do this by playing two people strengths and using positive motivational techniques.

I am strategic because I understand and fully buy into my employers golds and targets.

Without these girls and targets the company would not thrive on, I would not have a job.

I'm also autocratic when needed, which means I set high standards of my team and I expect them to meet their targets that would form part off their appraisal.

So whilst I am not one particular style of leader.

I feel like a draw on a number of different strengths and styles to suit a team on also to meet my employers.

Long term goals.
