#1

Employers are interested in determining how well coworkers and clients would respond to you and how you would interact with them if hired during the job interview. As a result, you should prepare for questions like “What tactics would you employ to encourage your team?” in your job interview.

If you’re applying for a position that requires you to supervise employees, lead teams of coworkers, or manage projects, expect to be asked this question. Interviewers might get a sense of your leadership and interpersonal style from your response.
Other occupations that may ask this question include teaching, sales, public relations, and other positions that require you to motivate people.

How to answer this question
It’s good to emphasize in your responses that you realize motivating techniques should be suited to personality type. You might say that you’d spend time getting to know your clients or team members and determining their requirements and preferences. It’s useful to distinguish between how you could handle high-performing employees and underperformers in the company.

Demonstrate your understanding of some of the typical variables that contribute to workplace motivation, such as bonuses, teamwork, and recognition. Of course, you’ll want to emphasize that you can’t always control these variables. Salaries and bonuses, for example, are frequently outside the control of a manager or team member.

Interview replies should be arranged to convey the circumstance, task, action, and results, according to experts (STAR). This technique aids you in describing to the interviewer your job-related experiences.

In most situational interview questions, there is no right or wrong answer. Sharing a story to show the motivating tactics you have used in the past is one strategy for your response. Using this modified version of the STAR interview answer approach, describe the circumstance, your action, and the results.
