21 First-Time Team Leader Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of FIRST-TIME TEAM LEADER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed for your organization’s team leader position today. I am a progressive, dynamic, forward-thinking, and productive team leader who can get the most from any team while ensuring the organization’s goals are achieved. I have been preparing for the team leader role by observing current serving leaders and managers, reading leadership books, and taking the lead on difficult projects. I have experience dealing with tough workplace situations, coaching and mentoring new staff members and planning projects to meet the core objectives. Outside work, I keep myself fit and active, and I am the leader of a sports team. If you hire me as your team leader, I will support you in your commercial and operational goals, ensure all staff I am responsible for are productive and adhere to company policies and procedures, and ensure we deliver value for money in all our work.”
Q2. Why do you want to be a Team Leader?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to be a team leader because I will thrive on the responsibility that comes with the position, and I feel I have a natural ability to lead, motivate and direct. In my last job, the company owner gave me the opportunity to act as a temporary team leader for a short period, and I felt not only comfortable in the position but I enjoyed the varied challenges that came with the role. I also want to be a team leader because my confidence, logical way of thinking, and desire for continuous improvement are suited to the job description. Although this will be my first-ever team leader position, I have prepared well for the responsibility, and I am confident I can help the company move forward.”

Yes! I Want To Pass My Interview!THE SKILLS AND QUALITIES OF A TEAM LEADER
Before you apply to become a first-time team leader, it is important to understand the different skills and qualities needed to excel in the role. The following list brilliantly explains what is needed to thrive as a team leader.
- Excellent communication and active listening skills are required to achieve your objectives as a team leader.
- The ability to outline a brief and listen to your teams needs will help you achieve more in the position of a team leader.
- You must be capable of conducting performance reviews, coach and mentor team members, and provide appropriate training based on each person’s development needs. Without appropriate training, tasks will not be completed to the expected standard.
- Commercial-awareness is another essential skill, as is the need to ensure a cost-conscious approach to work is maintained.
- Integrity, strong decision-making skills, and leading by example are other key skills and qualities required, as is the ability to share your vision with your team and motivate them towards your employers goals.
3 SMART QUESTIONS TO ASK AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST-TIME TEAM LEADER INTERVIEW
QUESTION #1. Can you tell me more about the team I would be responsible for as a team leader?
QUESTION #2. What are the plans for the company over the next five to ten years?
QUESTION #3. What advice would you give to a new team leader who wants to excel in the position?
6 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU START WORK AS A NEW TEAM LEADER
When you first take responsibility for a team as a new and inexperienced team leader, there are several things you must do as follows:
- Meet with the head of the department to determine your goals and objectives and learn more about the short, medium, and long-term goals of the business. This information will provide you with a clear plan of what you must work towards.
- Learn all company policies and procedures, especially regarding health and safety, operational protocols, and the standards you must maintain as a team leader. Remember: it is important to lead by example and set the standards as a team leader and you can only achieve this if you understand the rules and policies.
- Meet with your team to outline your objectives which should be aligned with the company’s strategic goals. When you meet your team for the first time, you can allocate tasks to team members based on their strengths.
- Observe your teams performance for several weeks. Unless absolutely necessary, do not make any changes to how your team performs until you have seen them in action.
- After several weeks of observation, hold a team meeting to discuss the good things you have observed, the areas of improvement required, and the values you expect everyone to adhere to.
- Finally, conduct appraisals (performance reviews) with all team members to ascertain their training needs, career aspirations, and to understand more about what they can do to help the business achieve its commercial and financial goals.
