QUESTION 24 OF 33

At Red Bull, we seek to give our team members both freedom and responsibility. How can we motivate you on the job?

It's critical that managers know how each staff member is best motivated, as this knowledge will help them to help you. Whatever keeps you motivated on the job, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, your answer to this question will give your interviewer a better idea of your work ethic and how Red Bull can best support you.

"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I do like to know that my efforts are being noticed. In my current position, we have a leaderboard, and I do like that concept because it creates a healthy bit of personal competition for me as well."

"I am motivated by knowing something about the end customer and being able to relate to them as a person. A personal touch is always helpful for me."

Share with your interviewer what motivates you on the job, being open about your professional needs. Your answer might touch on themes of verbal praise or affirmation, healthy competition, or opportunities for career growth and development.

Anonymous Answer

Keep me challenged
Offer a supportive environment
Give me extra responsibility
Praise is always welcome, but just recognition and appreciation makes a big difference.
I like to be in a competitive environment, not in a stifling way, but a healthy competitive sense.
I think its always good to allow a certain amount of independence on the job, giving people space to do their job and trust in their ability. Micromanaging can be quite counterproductive

Rachelle's Feedback

It's great how you gave a distinction between good competition and not so good competition. This answer will give the company a very clear idea of how to keep you engaged in your work.
