In looking to be this organization's next Staffing Manager, it is important to remember that you are interviewing for a management position. During your interview, your interviewer wants to know that you can motivate your team by being a positive influence on them. Be open about your management style in a question like this. Remember that you need to prove that you are a great cultural fit in this organization, and your ability to prove you are a positive and influential leader will put you in the driver's seat for this role.

"I have found that positive feedback is the best overall motivator for my employees. Therefore, I try to give positive feedback as often as I can. I also try to give feedback as close in proximity to the action I am trying to reinforce. I try not to overpraise, so when I give positive feedback, the employees know it's genuine. A couple of months ago, I noticed the extra work that a team member put in for a difficult hiring manager. When they made a great hire for the manager's team, I called that out in our bi-weekly team meeting, and the employee felt great about that little acknowledgment among our team."
