Senior management correspondence: how to answer and succeed on a job interview.

An expert in the field gives us the most important questions that can be presented when
applying for a position as a manager or supervisor in a company. It also gives us the points
we should focus on.

1. Tell me about yourself and why you would make a good Senior
Manager/Director for our company?
Tips: Focus entirely on job skills, being a visionary, and how your primary goal is to
move the company forward and achieve the employer's strategic goals.
Successful managers and directors have one thing in common: they can motivate and
inspire their employees to believe in their vision and act on it.
Example:
First, I have experience in achieving company goals and my only goal in working for
you is to work hard to achieve my goals. I am someone who is extremely passionate about
my work and I understand that the only way to be successful in this role is to put in the
hours, work smart and lead my team to the end goal.
I am a strong visionary leader and leader who can motivate and inspire my team to be
their best, while keeping the strategic goals of the organization in mind.
When you hire me as a General Manager/Director, please believe that you are investing
in a reliable, trustworthy, hardworking and professional leader who can solve complex
problems and remain calm under pressure while being a positive role model and
representative for his organization .

2. What are your values as a company leader?


Tips: Most organizations with senior executives and/or managers have set values that
they expect their employees to work by. So the first piece of advice you can give is to
research the company values of the organization you are interviewing for.
Example: You have 7 important values that I always follow as a company leader. These
are the circumstances that I always act HONESTLY AND PROGRAMMED in
everything I do. If the head of the company can't handle it, his employees can't wait either.
The second value is LEAD BY EXAMPLE. This is especially important if you hold
meetings with managers and supervisors. The third value I follow is
RESPONSIBILITY. As the head of the company, I am accountable to you and always
work hard to achieve the company's goals and objectives.
The fourth value is CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT not
only for yourself, but also for your employees. I think it's important to be open to change
and inspire your employees to be the best they can be. The fifth value is TEAMWORK,
because it is not possible to achieve your goals without others.

The sixth is BREAK AND INNOVATION. Although I am a creative leader, I want to
encourage my employees to be innovative and free to come up with new ideas that benefit
the organization. Finally, the seventh value is that of a COMMITMENT TO
CUSTOMER. Without customers, there is no business and they will be core to
everything we do, if I am your company leader.

3. What qualities & attributes make a good leader?


Tips: Organizational leaders must demonstrate unique skills and characteristics. These
include, in particular, planning, organization, responsibility for the company's results,
organizational awareness, strategic vision, exemplary leadership, as well as acting as a
positive role model for the company.
When answering this question, demonstrate that you understand the importance of the
role and how it correlates with the goals of the interviewee's organization.
Examples: I fully understand the qualities and attributes needed to be both a good and
successful leader. Perhaps the most important attribute is an understanding of how your
actions and roles affect the overall performance of the business. If you can't lead by
example and also be a positive role model for the organization, then I don't think you can
do it.
First of all, you must take responsibility for everything that happens in the company; you
must be a good communicator because what you say and write can have a huge impact
on your staff and external stakeholders. You must also inspire, motivate and lead your
team towards company goals and hold people accountable for their actions.
I think one of the most important qualities is also the ability to visualize your goals and
then work intensely to achieve them. You must identify the characteristics of your
employees and enable them to succeed in their role and ultimately be adaptable to
constant change. The only way a company like yours can continue to grow, develop and
be a leader in its field is to constantly learn and adapt to an ever-changing operating
system.

4. How would you build a positive relationship with your staff?


Tips: The key to building a positive and lasting relationship with your employees is based
on standards, recognition and consistency.
When answering this question, be sure to tell the panel that you have a proven method
for building positive relationships from the start.
Example: If successful in this role, I will focus on three specific areas that will ensure I
build and maintain long-term positive relationships with my staff. These are
STANDARDS, IDENTIFICATION and COMPLIANCE. When it comes to standards,
it's important to set the bar high when you start and show your team that you only accept
the highest possible standards. This is an example in practice.
Another area, RECOGNITION, is empowering your employees to succeed in their role,
and when they achieve something important, you recognize it and reward them. When
employees feel valued and recognized, they will work effectively for you.
Finally, in this type of senior management role, it is extremely important that you are
always ICE-PROOF. All employees must be treated consistently and fairly. I believe
that if you do these three things, you will be able to build positive relationships with your
employees and empower them to achieve great things for the organization.

5. Are you a risk taker?

Tips: To be successful, you have to take risks. However, the risk must be weighed against
the possible consequences. Even if you say you are a risk taker, it is important to explain
the level of risk you would take and most importantly the risk assessment you would go
through. When answering this question, use the following risk assessment to ensure
responsible, calculated and intelligent risk assessment in any situation.
Example: The short answer is yes, I take risks. But before taking a risk, I do a thorough
risk assessment to make sure I'm not putting unnecessary stress on the organization or
taking risks that could have extreme and negative consequences for my employer.
Before taking risks, use risk assessment, where risks and benefits are weighed; the
possibility of things going wrong; if things go wrong, what are the consequences for the
organization and how strategies and techniques can be used to minimize the risks as
much as possible. Then, after gathering all the available facts and using my risk
management process, I make a decision that is in the best interest of the organization.
I believe that taking risks is an important part of running an organization. However, I
would never make stupid and ill-considered decisions based on gut or past experiences.
Any risks I take would be based on an assessment of the facts available to me and my
team, and the reputation and good governance of my employer would always come first.

6. How important is company culture to you and what steps would you take to
maintain your desired culture?
Tips: company culture is an essential part of a productive, happy and skilled workforce.
There are many different elements that can all have a positive impact on creating a strong
culture in any organization. Use them in your answer to this interview question.
It is recommended that you tell the panel that you will spend
weeks observing and evaluating the current culture of the organization before making
the necessary changes according to the culture you want to see in the company.
Example: Company culture is very important to me and I believe it is absolutely essential
to helping senior executives and managers achieve organizational goals. When you create
a strong and positive culture within your organization, not only will your employees be
more productive and happier in their roles, but you'll also encourage innovation, ingenuity
and engagement.
There are many ways to develop a strong culture, including openness, commitment to
employees, encouraging innovation, involving all team members in the decision-making
process, focusing on quality, providing open and honest feedback, identifying and
developing talent, and also engaging. . to continuous improvement.
If I am successful in the interview today, I will spend about
weeks assessing and observing the current culture of the organization before making and
implementing the necessary changes. This approach allows me to develop and maintain
a strong and positive culture so that we can all successfully achieve the goals of the
organization.

7. What are your long term goals and how do you plan to achieve them?
Tips: At this senior management level, you are either at or near the top of your career.
Therefore, your answer should be based on stability and longevity in the job you are
interviewing for. The interview panel wants someone who can take their organization
forward, and of course that takes time. If you plan to leave soon, you will not get a seat.
So base your answer entirely on their business and the long term success of the
organization. When it comes to how you plan to achieve long-term success, focus on
developing a strong culture and building a team around you who are all capable of striving
to achieve the organization's goals.

Brianna Liselott Ferreras Segura A00144186


Example: My long-term goal is to remain in the position in your organization for which
I am being interviewed today. For me, this is the pinnacle, and while I'm still excited and
motivated, I want to fully focus on achieving your organization's goals and driving long-
term success for the company.
On how I would achieve this, I would build a strong and determined team around me,
all focused on the goals of the organization. I would also build a strong culture within
the organization that encourages innovation and recognizes hard work and
professionalism.
I look forward to working for you for many years and look forward to creating a long-
term strategic vision for the organization that will ensure you maintain your position as a
leading organization in the industry.
