When you are leading a team, it is imperative to maintain awareness of each team member's contributions and to regularly evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Taking stock of everyone's performance allows you to address bottlenecks and adjust the plan as needed. One underperforming team player can drag down the entire group. Point to previous leadership experiences while discussing with your interviewer how you stay aware of each team members' success.

"I've developed an in-depth system for evaluating success among my team members. As a manager, I check in twice per week with each member of my team. On Mondays, the entire team meets to set our goals together. Then, on Fridays, we meet as a group and 1:1 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 have various KPIs in place to measure the success of each team member. In addition to these objective metrics, I think it's critical to meet on a regular basis with each team member to hear directly from them about how they would rate their own progress on a project. I've found that, for the most part, these individuals have been quite self-aware and motivated to address any obstacles in the way of their success. In this way, I strive to foster an open conversation with team members rather than maintaining a hierarchical approach."
