30 Leadership Interview Questions For Hiring Better Managers
- 66% of managers have had no formal training. Here are five keys to leadership ability, with interview questions for each:
- Visionary thinking: How do you prioritize important work? Can you communicate strategy at all levels? What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned for pursuing a vision?
- Growth mindset: How do you respond when projects don’t meet expectations? How do you approach learning new skills? What role does mentorship play in your career growth?
- Strategic decision-making: How do you conduct a competitive analysis? How do you balance long-term planning with short-term objectives? What’s your approach to resource allocation?
- Team building and empowerment: How do you manage stress and coaching team members? How do you set performance goals and manage issues?
- Results-driven: Can you tell me about a time you redistributed work to meet a tight deadline? Share an example of when you took ownership of a mistake and how you rectified it.
- Evaluate candidates for fit with your company’s values using open-ended questions such as ‘What does work-life balance mean to you?’ and ‘How do you integrate new employees into your team?’
- As a hiring manager, watch out for potential red flags, such as discrepancies and body language/tone that doesn't match the answer.
- Leaders you hire will become hiring managers themselves. You can empower them with an efficient, AI-enabled hiring system like SmartRecruiters to make supercharged team-building a breeze.
