Submitted by: Muhammad

This is one of the most common manager interview questions. As a leader, your team looks to you set the tone of morale and motivation. Interviewers seek the following in your answer:

☛ A description of your communication style
☛ Examples of specific things you do to empower your employees
☛ An explanation of how you take time to get to know your employees (so that you understand what motivates them on an individual level)

In your answer, give specific examples of ways that you provided positive reinforcement to your team, encouraged them to take the initiative, and understood each person's strengths. Also, take care to explain how you've shown recognition to employees who meet or exceed expectations.
