As a team leader you will also need to provide details of how you intend motivating your team, if you are successful. The answers contained within this guide will provide you with suggested answers to ‘team motivation’ and other team leader interview questions.

TIP #2 – When answering the Team Leader interview questions, be sure to use positive keywords and phrases when describing yourself, such as: innovative, inspirational, determined, resilient and forward-thinking. These will resonate positively with the interview panel.

TIP #3 – Tell the panel you are ‘commercially aware’. This means you understand the wider picture in respect of the organization making strategically focused decisions that will impact on your team.

TIP #4 – Throughout your Team Leader interview, be sure to use the STAR technique when answering any competency-based or situational interview questions. This will ensure you provide evidence-based answers to all of the questions.

TIP #5 – As a team leader you will need to take responsibility for your own and your team’s actions. Show the panel you are self-motivated and that you have the skills and attributes to motivate your team towards achieving the company goals. This can be achieved by carrying out appraisals fairly soon after you join the company as Team Leader.
