QUESTION 25 OF 30

If hired as our Food Service Manager, how will you show your team the importance of clear communication on the job?

"In my group-based projects in university, I show my teammates the importance of communication by leading by example. I set the tone and expectations for how we should communicate by utilizing all forms of written, verbal, and interpersonal communications to a tee. I will bring the same positive attitude and strong organization to work as a Food Service Manager, as well."

The interviewer would like to know that you lead by example when it comes to communication in the workplace. Breakdown of communication in a business setting can have dire effects on the profitability of an organization. This effect is why it is essential, as a leader, to understand that 'telling' and 'showing' are two very different things when it comes to proper communication with your team. Give examples of how you put dialogue into action in the workplace.

"As an experienced manager, I know that many customer service issues stem from poor communication. In my current role, when we have a customer dispute, I work with my team to explore alternative solutions that would have given us a better outcome. We often role play and discuss ways that we could have reacted better. This practice has greatly improved customer reviews."
