If you made it to the interview stage in their search for their next Compensation Manager, your interviewer likely feels very confident in your ability to lead all technical aspects of the compensation department. 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. Prior to your interview, be sure to put some serious thought into how you will describe your management and leadership style. 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.

"I feel very fortunate to have worked under some great managers during my career and I've learned a lot from every great manager I've had. I consider myself to be a very flexible manager that has an innate ability to tailor my management style to each individual. I am a firm believer in leading by example to help motivate my team and being open with all communications to my team. People respond positively in an open and transparent environment and that is the environment I like to provide. Last, I like to put my team to work to the best of their strengths and assign work to match people's abilities. If hired as your next Compensation Manager, one of my first goals would be to learn the ins and outs of my team and each person's strengths and weaknesses."
