“ The price of greatness is Responsibility “ Winston Churchill
Question : How do you delegate responsibilities?
Answer : “I aim to identify my team members’ personal strengths first. Once I understand the group as a network of individuals, I can then delegate the tasks in order to build an efficient team. In my last position, I met with each member of my department once a month to talk about their progress, issues they may have been experiencing and any opportunities they wanted to pursue. One employee felt that her strengths were not being fully utilized. I found some more challenging responsibilities for her, and our entire department’s productivity increased as a result.”

Conflicts
“ Conflict can destroy a team which hasn`t spent time learning to deal with it “ Thomas Isgar
Question : How do you handle conflict between team members ?
Answer : “When I led a content production team, two employees had a miscommunication about which assignments they needed to complete, leaving a large part of our project unfinished by the deadline. This led to a disagreement between the employees, as each team member insisted they had done their part correctly. I reviewed the correspondence between the two coworkers and found that they had both misunderstood their roles in this project. I reassigned the remaining tasks to each employee based on their availability, and we finished the campaign for the client as quickly as possible. The three of us worked on a new task delegation process so the issue would not occur again in the future.

Motivation
Question :How do you motivate your team?
Answer : “I understand that people respond to different forms of motivation, so I try to motivate my employees using the method they prefer. In my last position as Creative Director, one team member told me he preferred regular positive reinforcement, while another wanted critical feedback on her projects. When our team faced high output pressure, I gave them the motivation they needed, and both employees consistently submitted good work.”
