in this video we'll talk about the question tell me a time about a time
when you demonstrated leadership skills this question comes to us from Izuru so
they give you through I hope I'm saying your name correctly in this video we
will cover why this question is asked how to answer the question with an
example and how we wrap it up gracefully so stay tuned
you
alright why is this question act they want to be how you directed somebody or
a group of people or led a team or how you turned around the situation that
wasn't doing well so for the purpose of this video we are going to use a sorry
formula and an example so if you're not familiar with the sorry formula it
stands for situation action result and interesting features so to tell a
complete story you need a beginning a middle and an end and the story should
be fun and interesting to listen to so that's what we're going through here
you paint a clear picture with your story so how to answer so say that you
are assigned to a new team and this team wasn't doing very well and they weren't
very happy because they've had a lot of change it's happened in those
departments in the last little while so you're dealing with a disgruntled team
and just come into the situation without so you put the stage back to is the
action so what actions did you take looking to do it's extremely important
here that you talk about specifically what you did and not what we did or how
we proceeded because that isn't ours they just want to know about you
specifically so continuing with our examples save some of the actions that
you may have taken worth injuring one-on-one meeting with each person on
the team where you ask them some questions around what they thought was
going on with the team what was holding them back and what each person thought
that you should do as learning managers team leads coming in fix the situation
and we also ask them what they would like to happen what their ideal outcome
would be step 3 resolve them here is where you talk about their happy ending
so for example in this example say you took action on the main thing that team
had mentioned the fold in the back so you talked everyone on the team and they
all kind of mentioned the same you say and you now keep one-on-one meetings
weekly on the calendar to make sure that the paintings drum and are communicating
with you and everyone is a lot happier now and you're proud of the work that
team did and of the turnaround so that was the example of a great result with a
happy in it step forward interesting features so
here you can calculate things like servant leadership or you can mention
the resources that we've used in the past book you read employee engagement
nuggets of wisdom it can be anything that you found interesting looking back
at the situation from what really helps me turn it around and there you have it
an example of leadership skills and how they were demonstrated now if you don't
have an example assist don't worry you don't have to lead of group of soldiers
into battle to have a good story about leadership it can start with just one
person if you want some help coming up with their own stories so if you have
types of questions I've got you covered in the downloadable guides you can click
below to get and what you'll get is top ten examples of stories that I've used
in my own interviewing and it's taken a long time to come up with all of these
stories it is challenging at first so you do need to take some time to prepare
them and think about what your greatest career stories are in the guide you'll
all forget the sorry formula break down step by steps like psychologically write
work and the fill in the blank template for each question so you'll be able to
