Where they will look to dig into more with this question is what type of manager and leader they would be hiring to lead the full team of compensation staff.

Some key points that you want to hit on are your ability to motivate others, communicate effectively, delegate tasks appropriately and be a strategic partner for other leaders within the organization.
