How would you describe your leadership style?

"My overall management style is the belief in strategically building a positive team atmosphere. I'm a firm believer that each person and role brings a specific skill set to the overall goals and purpose of a team, and I promote a team-based atmosphere by clarifying everyone's role on the team, keeping every person's objectives clear, rewarding great performers on the team and holding people accountable for their actions. If hired for this role at European Investment Bank, you can be assured that my promotion of a team-based atmosphere would help achieve even higher goals than you have set right now."

"I think a leader of others must be flexible in their style rather than relying on just one of the canned management styles. I'd like to highlight my abilities to lead as a manager that works to grow and develop my staff to help develop them and help them achieve their career goals and a leader who can provide direction and authority when the time for it arises. By knowing my team well and promoting our goals, I can assign work to the right people and follow through with my team on meeting all objectives necessary."

When it comes to developing others, European Investment Bank looks to "build the long-term capability of others by guiding and developing them to make the most of their competence and potential, based on an accurate understanding of their true strengths and development needs." When it comes to team leadership, they aim to "build a high-performing team, ensuring it is focused, motivated and inspired to achieve organisational objectives; you encourage performance excellence and address underperformance when required." And when it comes to strategic thinking, they value those who "come up with useful new strategic insights," and who "think about the long-term organisation strategy and how to align to and implement it."
