"Before I was promoted to assistant manager, I performed my work as described, but didn't really have a concept of what performing above and beyond looked like. I worked a variety of shifts, from morning prep to opening and closing. Once I got a feel for what each shift required, I performed my work as efficiently as I could. When I closed, I stayed behind to set up those responsible for morning prep. Eventually, as I trained as assistant manager, I got a stronger feel for all the behind-the-scenes stuff, and the importance behind each aspect of the job in ways I was previously unaware of. I set up new systems for how to get everyone on the same page to overperform. The job became easier for everyone. Maybe that's not a good example. I pride myself on going above and beyond. I just wish I could have been an over performer earlier on, knowing what I knew later on."

Fully grasping this holds the promise of an effective leadership style. Not comprehending its implications will reveal potential red flags. This question is designed to alert them to the depth of your understanding of this concept. As a leader, how you present the direction the company is heading can have a significant impact on how quickly they reach that destination.

A leader inspires innovation and strives to better the team. One way to define "stewardship" is to accept responsibility, strive to better communities and the environment at large. This holds the potential of offering each individual member of a team increased pride in their work, and incentivizes going above and beyond with consistency.
