"I ensure I have the correct directives from my marketing director and there is clarity over the required direction. Once that happens, I cascade the communications out to my team - typically in a huddle/face-to-face communication. I follow this up with a written form of communication."

"When I receive instructions from our corporate head office, I will hold a quick team huddle to review. If the information came in written form, I will print it, have everyone initial that they read the correspondence, and then add the page into our communications binder."

"When receiving information that needs passing along, I prefer to include it in an email. This way my team of reps can look back on the information whenever they need. This method eliminates a lot of opportunity for miscommunication."

The interviewer would like to know more about your ability to communicate third-party information to your team. A huge part of proper communication is the ability to listen to the original set of data and relay it accordingly. Miscommunication can be costly, so it is an immensely vital skill to be able to convey information carefully and accurately. Discuss with the interviewer how you go about doing so.

"When I receive new information from my supervisor I will run my understanding of it by the supervisor to ensure that my interpretation is correct. After that, I will relay the information formally, in writing, to my team. This method eliminates word of mouth and misinterpretation surrounding the issue."

I first ensure that I have understood the information provided to me by my supervisor correctly by adopting active listening skills. I then take the time to translate this information into an easy-to-understand and manner that is relevant for my team members.
