Talk to the interviewer about how you emulate the qualities of energy and organization while motivating others and being self-driven. Provide measurable examples of how you plan to emulate these qualities if you are hired as Amazon's next Area Manager.

- Help your team members keep a healthy mindset
- View obstacles and challenges as exciting opportunities to problem solve

"If I am chosen for the Area Manager role, I will bring a contagious energy to my team by taking the initiative on projects and encouraging a positive mindset no matter the challenges we face. I believe that genuine energy begins from within, so I also take extra care to refresh my brain by taking my lunch break away from my desk and ensuring that I get the rest I need on my days off. I have worked hard to become an organized person and find that I maintain organization by creating and sticking to a routine while setting short-term and long-term goals. Last, as a self-starter, I will bring confidence in my decisions and accountability for my work. I will teach my team members the importance of setting high expectations for themselves and trusting their ability to do the best job for themselves, their teammates, and the company as a whole."
