through other people. The manager's job is to provide the resources and environment

workers, to the extent possible, to make their own decisions. I've found that this breeds
loyalty and inspires hard work.

Questions: "Tell me about the best/worst decision you made"?


Answer: In my last position as the Asst. store manager, I made a decision in
scheduling. I didn't consider how much work there was in getting all the installers out of the
store. I did my research from the week before and implemented a short survey. This experience
really taught me about planning and doing thorough research before making a decision.
Questions: "What obstacles prevented you from achieving your goals in
your current/last job"?
Answer: I was assigned to the warehouse as the inventory assistant warehouse
manager with a team of installers that seemed to be going in many different directions and had
low morale. It was having a big impact on productivity. I realized quickly that individual team
members were not aware of their colleagues' activities. So I set up regular meetings with
agendas, this definitely helped with project coordination. Improving morale was a bigger task
and took more time to accomplish. But I developed some strategies that helped.

How do you motivate people"?

people". You have to use a different approach for different people.

job is and how they do it.
