10 Leadership Interview Questions
Share
As you get ready for your interview try to focus on what it is the employer needs solved. Why do they need this position filled? What is the issue? Then zero in on that need! Also, make sure you want the job as well! Don’t exude desperation. That is not attractive in any setting.

Here are a few interview questions for senior level professionals, some which may have thrown you off (but not anymore!)

1. Why are you interested in this position?

2 Walk me through your resume and tell me what in your resume aligns with what we need from you in this position.

3. Give me a specific example that will support your leadership skills in the face of challenges.

4. What skills and experience do you bring to [desired title] and how will that benefit us?

5. Tell me about your biggest success in being able to identify and develop opportunities to accelerate increased revenues and improve profitability within _______ environment.



6. What has been your biggest success?

7. Give me an example of when you were able to establish, measure, and optimize processes?

8. Describe a time when you had to resolve a conflict among a team you managed. What was the issue and how did you manage it?

9. What is your management philosophy?

10. Is there any requirement for this job you feel you do not meet?

Keep your answers concise. If they want you to elaborate, they will ask. Begin your answers by summarizing the achievement then go into why and how. Keep all your answers relevant to the job in hand. You might have different answers in mind but the idea is that you target that job title as much as possible!

Good luck!
