Being our next HR Consultant will often require you to inspire excellence in others. What does greatness mean to you?

This question is a discovery-based inquiry, genuinely focused on how you think versus what you do. Go with your initial instinct when it comes to how you define success and greatness for your interviewer. There is no right or wrong answer. Show your interviewer that, as an HR professional, you find fulfillment in inspiring others to do their best, and you do this by leading through example.

"To me, success comes when you accomplish a goal, but that goal needs to be something specific that you have your eyes set on. I often encourage my team to set specific goals for themselves. Second, greatness ties into that because without believing that you are great, you will not likely succeed and meet your goals!"

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
