QUESTION 20 OF 29

How do you like to encourage ideas in others?

Encouragement to others is a great skill to possess. It also helps create a sense of community in the workplace. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to encourage creative ideas in your team members.

"I encourage ideas in others by creating a safe and positive environment to share ideas in. When people feel supported and comfortable, they are willing to bring forward everything they've got."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

Honestly, I treat working with a team like working with a group of students. It is important to identify your priorities, set a goal and create measurable steps toward that goal. But none of this cannot be accomplished if you haven't first been proactive by building trusting relationships with those you are working with. You need to empower everyone to share and determine how each of these keeps your priorities and goals in mind. Discourse among all individuals is key to coming to a consensus.

Marcie's Feedback

Great! How exactly do you build trust with the people on your team? And how do you empower them to share their ideas? This might be a good place to talk about the type of leadership style you employ and emphasize that you value the idea and opinions of others. Great job!
