that I'm providing you I'd very much
appreciate that thank you now during
your team leader interview you have to
demonstrate four important qualities so
you've got to focus on these
specifically during your responses to
the team leader interview questions
these are an ability to motivate and
inspire your team you have to be able to
motivate people and inspire them towards
achieving the company goals and they'll
tell you how to do that during this
tutorial next one the next quality is
you have to be a completer finisher what
I mean by this is somebody who is given
a task or a project and you go away and
you actually finish it to the best of
your ability and you use your team to
complete and finish those tasks so you
have to be someone who gets things done
as quickly as possible you also have to
be highly organized to be an effective
team leader and also you have to be
accountable be the one who takes
responsibility not just for your own
actions but your team's actions also
okay so we're gonna focus on those four
key qualities during our responses to
the interview questions question number
one let's get straight into those
questions and answers why will you make
a good team leader and what qualities do
you have relevant to the role so this
will be pretty much
the first question that you will get
arsenic could sometimes be posed in a
way of tell me about yourself
and why you want to be a team leader but
we're gonna put it this way why will you
make a good team leader on what
qualities do you have relevant to the
rock here we go here's my answer to this
question I will make a good team leader
because I am passionate about leading
and motivating people towards achieving
the goals and objectives of my employer
now in any given work situation I feel a
natural urge to take control and lead
people towards a clear vision and an end
goal now the qualities I I have on
numerous and varied the main ones I
possess that will enable me to excel in
this role include an ability to motivate
and lead those people whom I'm
responsible for an intent desire to
complete and finish all tasks to the
highest standards possible a high level
of responsibility and accountability and
also effective communication skills if
you hire me as your team leader I will
deliver consistent quality results you
will be proud of it's a really strong
answer and if you stick around I'll tell
you where you can download these
questions and the answers and very soon
question number two how would you deal
with an underperforming member of your
team now this is pretty much again a
guaranteed question they're gonna want
to know how do you deal with
underperforming team members here's my
suggested answer I would deal with an
underperforming member of my team using
a four-step approach step 1
I would investigate the problem to find
out exactly why they were
underperforming it would be important to
get to the bottom of any issues before
jumping to conclusions as to why they
were not performing correctly
step 2 I would put a plan of action in
place to ensure they started performing
quickly now this plan may also include
remedial training having to be carried
out to enable them to get them back to
the required standard step 3 I would
monitor their performance regularly in
the days and weeks after creating that
plan of action just to ensure the
requirements of the plan were being met
and finally step 4
this would involve an assessment
approximately eight weeks after the plan
of action have been completed now this
assessment
would enable me to ensure the turnaround
in their performance had been fully
completed so that's a really strong
response to that and what I like about
it and I encourage you to do the same is
to use a four-step approach because then
your systemising how you're dealing with
that underperforming member of your team
next question of your team leader
interview what would you do within the
first four weeks of starting as our
newly appointed team leader so they want
to know what you're gonna do in the
first few weeks of starting now most
jobs that you apply for they will tell
you what they want you to do but this is
different the team leader has to think
okay this is what I'm gonna do so you
need to have a plan before you start and
here's a great answer to this question I
would first of all obtain a brief from
you my company directors as to what the
objectives of my role are then I would
spend time closely monitoring the
performance of my team I feel it's
really important not to make rash
changes or decisions in the early weeks
of starting the role instead a more
effective team leader will address any
immediate concerns before monitoring his
or her team so they can gather as much
information as possible about how the
team is performing and also whether any
improve improvements needed to be made
or not then after approximately two
weeks I would put a plan in place that
includes all of the changes I feel need
making before communicating my plan to
the team and also setting the high
standards I require from everyone I
would then motivate and inspire my team
to help them achieve their full
potential whilst working towards the
company objectives so again a real solid
answer based on what you know you're
going to do within the first few weeks
of starting in the role as a team leader
and this makes you really attractive as
an employer an employee because you know
what you're going to do before you start
next question what motivational
techniques would you utilize was leading
your team what motivational techniques
would you utilize whilst leading your
team here's a really good answer I would
motivate my team in three ways
empowering supporting and recognition I
would empower my team by giving them
clear instructions as to
what I want achieving and also how I
expect things to be done I would also
give my team the tools the training and
the resources they need to perform their
roles to the best of their ability
I would then support them in their roles
and this would include communicating
with them regularly to show the team on
there for them if needed and to also
ensure they are going in the right
direction finally whenever the team does
something well or of significance I
would recognize their achievements and
reward them rewarding your team does not
mean spending money on them or buying
them expensive gifts in fact I believe
the best form of recognition is simple
acknowledgement simply telling your team
you're proud of their achievements is an
extremely positive action to take
