that interview question now I've got two
more to go through so please do stick

manager interview questions and answers
there's a link that's appeared in the
top right hand corner there if you click
that it'll take you through to my page
and you can download my full set of
Amazon manager interview questions and
answers let's have a look at the next
one describe a time when you
demonstrated one of the Amazon
leadership principles in a previous role
so I've chosen what here which
personally I think is the most important
and then I've embedded it in a suggested
answer here we go I've studied the
Amazon leadership principles in detail
to make sure I can perform all of them
as required within this position of
manager now one of them I believe I've
been consistent in in every role of
undertaken so far is that of insisting
on the highest standards achievable for
example whilst working in my last team
I'm a difficult project a couple of the
team members suggested we cut corners on
one particular element at the project to
save time and to also allow us to ensure
the project was
completed I immediately disagreed and
explained that this was not the way to
do things I insisted that instead of
cutting corners we should all stay
behind an additional hour each day to do
the project tasks properly and to also
make sure we get the job completed on
time now whilst this was an unpopular
suggestion the most important thing for
me was to do things right and to make
sure the project was completed on time
there are no excuses for projects being
completed late and I would always ensure
everything is done to the highest
standards achievable whilst working as a
manager for Amazon so that shows it
gives a specific situation where you
demonstrated one of the Amazon
leadership principles let's now take a
look at another question how would you
handle it difficult and unproductive
member of your team as their managers so
this can happen sometimes and the
majority of people who work for Amazon a
brilliant they you know but sometimes
some people won't perform to the
required standards and as a manager you
have to get on top of it straight away
so here's my answer to this question I
would take decisive action as soon as I
realize the team member was not
performing to the required standard I
would speak to them initially to make
them aware of their shortcomings and
explain what they needed to do in order
to put things right now during my
discussions with them I would also ask
to see if there was anything that was
hindering them from performing to the
necessary standard I've been in
situations before where a team member
has not been carrying out their duties
correctly because of a personal issue
that they had ongoing at home in that
type of situation I would still require
them to get back up to speed quickly but
I would also put steps in place to
support them during their difficult
period it would be my sole focus as
their manager to get them back up to
speed as soon as possible so as to not
affect the wider team goals or the
organizational objectives so that shows
that you take action straightaway you
also look to see why the person is not
performing to the required standard and
then you put the necessary steps in
place to get them back up to speed
quickly so download my full set of
