How do you feel about performance incentives?
How you answer this question will help the interviewer assess your management style. Performance incentives can be very motivating, but if abused, they can affect a department's budget. Talk to the interviewer about your feelings about performance incentives.
"I feel that performance incentives are a great idea. They keep an employee motivated to do a great job and ensure that they are on top of their KPIs. Most people are very enthused about being rewarded for their successes."
"I think performance incentives are important for driving people to get results. For me, personally, they give me some skin in the game and get my team engaged in making an impact on the results."
Describe how you influence innovation, whether by individual recognition and mentorship or by inciting a friendly workplace competition through workplace incentives. Describe your approach and your perspective on the different methods one might use to motivate their team.
Success is measured in a variety of ways. Give the interviewer insight into your leadership style while communicating that you have your eye on the big picture. Sometimes performance incentives can be motivating, but through proper leadership, they can also be unnecessary.
