"I like to set goals that are geared towards career progression. I sit down with my employees and determine what they need to do to reach their career-related goals whether it is training or on-the-job experience. This also how I set my own career goals."

The interviewer wants to know the types of goals you set for your employees. Talk to the interviewer about the types of goals that you find most important.

"I put my team's goals into three categories: maintenance goals, compliance goals, and personal growth goals. Maintenace goals focus on facility repairs and maintenance that must be done regularly. Compliance goals are the tasks that must be done to ensure we meet required regulations. Personal growth goals focus on their professional development. This can include taking a course or reading a new career-related book."

I put my own goals into three categories: Work, professional and personal goals. Work goals are directly related to the job I'm doing, professional goals are what I'm doing to support or build my career and personal goals are my relationships, hobbies, and home life. Sometimes it gets crazy, but most of the time I have a good balance.
Stephanie's Feedback
Since this question is asking about goals for you and your team, the interviewers want to hear you describe your professional goals and the goals you set for the individuals you manage, not personal goals. I suggest re-writing this response to focus specifically on your goals at work, as well as how you set goals for your team.
