QUESTION 18 OF 29

How do you like to encourage ideas in others?

Encouragement to others is a great skill to possess. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to encourage creative ideas in your team members.

"I like to encourage other people to be creative in their thinking and present ideas to the company, no matter how off the wall they may seem. Some of our most successful employees are ones who are confident in their ability to bring forward their unique ideas. I encourage participation through an open door policy and strong praise for those who show initiative."

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

I would show them my process of how I conduct my brainstorming sessions and would encourage them to think outside the box to develop their own ideas. In addition, giving them the chance to provide recommendations for projects will also motivate them to develop ideas.

Marcie's Feedback

Great! Have you ever done this before? If so, give a real-life example of a time when you encouraged others to share their ideas. Your goal here is to show the interviewer that you are both collaborative and open to other perspectives.
