"I have learned throughout the years that I simply can't do everything myself! But I can establish high standards that I expect my teams to meet and exceed.

I start by assembling good teams that are filled with people who are smart and enthusiastic. Then, I lay out my expectations for each of them - using project management software - and clearly communicate these to them. Finally, I trust them to complete their tasks but provide guidance along the way if they need it. I also continually monitor everyone's progress using the software so if anyone does slack or fall behind, I can discuss this with them and develop a short-term action plan to resolve the issue."

"I think that it depends on what it is. If it's an administrative task that I can delegate to give someone the opportunity to learn and the team has the capacity for it, I will delegate it. If the task I am working on is only something that I can work on, I reshuffle other things off my plate by delegating so that I am able to get other things done. I always say a team is stronger when we work together."

Convince the interviewer that you know how to delegate and that you trust the members of the team as appropriate. Also, be sure to communicate that you are willing to assist a fellow teammate who is struggling at any time as needed. This will demonstrate that you are a servant leader willing to go the extra mile on behalf of your team, your clients, and your company.
