"My experience building teams is limited to structuring the groups our larger team was composed of. Six of us were dedicated to a major project, and I volunteered to be the team leader. So I divided the group into three pairs and assigned those groupings based on everyone's strengths. The project was a success, and we beat our deadline. Other than that, back in college, I started a chess club. There wasn't a club like it, so I decided to create the one club I was interested in joining. It took a lot of effort. My work included defining the club's purpose, creating a constitution, recruiting and assessing interest, electing my club's officers, running our first meeting, and spreading the word. I learned a lot from that experience. I am proud to say the club is still going today."

This question assesses your sense of teamwork and evaluates your leadership potential. Speak to your ability to work with or build a cohesive, high-functioning team. Think about your coaching style and the benefits it offers. The ability to promote the team's strengths is integral to effective leadership. Morale is a great determiner of productivity. An employee with a general sense of accomplishment will be more effective at their job. Treating your teams with dignity and respect and recognizing and rewarding their efforts is paramount. Share your relevant experience, and use the stages of the STAR method to formulate your answer (SITUATION/TASK/ACTION/RESULT).
