QUESTION 20 OF 30

Your team is starting to lose confidence. How do you show them that you have their back?

With this question, the interviewer is assessing your ability to lead and influence. As with any other issue that arises in a project, you are expected to conduct a root-cause analysis. An effective answer will demonstrate how well you can gather the necessary feedback from the team, solve it effectively, and improve the situation, even when you identify yourself as the problem. In your answer, demonstrate how you can motivate a team by providing specific examples of actions that will boost their morale.

"I'll immediately gather everyone for a team meeting. In this meeting, I'll give everyone the time and space to air out their challenges and concerns. I'll listen and empathize with them and assure them that I will do everything I can to get them what they need to complete their tasks. I'll also ask them for feedback about my performance as a leader and act on that feedback. As tasks are completed, I'll post shoutouts in the group chat to boost their morale. I'll also hold individual catch-ups regularly, even if it's just for 15 minutes at a time so that we can put out small fires before they catch on."
