How do you evaluate success among your team members?
When you are leading a team, it is imperative to be aware of the level of success that each team member is experiencing. One underperforming team player can drag down the entire group. Talk to the interviewer about how you can stay aware of each team members' success.
"I have a very in-depth and successful system for evaluating success among my team members. I check in twice per week with each member of my team. On Monday's - to set our goals together. Then, on Friday's, to discuss any successes and challenges. I have them self-evaluate, and then we create a plan for success for the upcoming week. I evaluate their success based on their follow through and willingness to work hard to reach their goals."
"I typically have KPI's (key performance indicators) in place to measure the success of each of the members of the team. I also manage our overall success in working together. For example, are we hitting on key initiatives within the department, developing each other for succession planning and having fun along the way!"

I usually state the KPIs and expectations clearly communicated to my staff so that there is no ambiguity, to begin with. During the project, I check in once per week with each member of my team and ask for a status update. I also tell them that if they have a problem, don't wait until the check-in. In the performance review at the year-end, I have them self-evaluate, then I evaluate their success based on their follow-through and the quality of work
