Tell me how you would run a weekly team meeting.
Use the time set aside for team meetings wisely. Ideally, team meetings are used for team bonding as well as keeping the team up-to-date with the latest developments in the company. Demonstrate your team-building skills and communication skills.
"Assuming that the meeting is an hour, I would spend the first 10 minutes of it going around the room and asking everyone how they're doing, talk about the last movie or TV show they saw, something to get people warmed up and open up their lives to each other. I'll spend the rest of the time going over any status updates from upper management. If there's anything noteworthy about other locations, I'll talk about that. Then we'll bring the conversation back to our own location, then our own team. I'll ask for feedback, if anyone has had any difficulties, and if there are any suggestions for improvements. I'll end the meeting by giving them clear intentions about the week's objective, add a quick pep talk, thank everyone for their hard work, and let them be on their way."

I will meet Monday mornings, review past week jobs, to outline progress made and challenges encountered, draw up a plan for the meeting and give direction for the week.
