The interviewer is trying to learn more about the challenges you currently face, as a project manager and as a leader. If hired, this information will help the hiring company to know where you could use additional support. Every leader has an aspect of responsibility that is challenging for them. Share your most challenging aspect of leadership but also highlight the steps that you take to alleviate or overcome that challenge.

"Currently, around half of my team consists of permanent employees, and the other half are temporary, seasonal, or contracted workers. I find this staffing ratio a challenge because I spend a lot of time re-training new people, or trying to create an air of enthusiasm and buy-in from people who are only with us for a short time. To overcome this challenge, I hire back as many temps and seasonal employees as possible when our construction season kicks up again. I have also started building a library of resources that I refer to as the 'Online Learning Portal' where new team members can familiarize themselves with our most common processes and best practices. This initiative has decreased the time that I spend training new hires and has also increased everyone's understanding of the job, thus reducing human error and boosting team spirit."
