We are a charity website still in development and you could really help by telling us what you think of the site. Once you have had a chance to see the site, would you take part in a very short, confidential survey? You just have to click Launch Survey (it will open in a new window). Thank you very much.
Launch the survey No thanks
In the section "Role of a leader" see the 5 essential actions of a leader:
Building trust
Demonstrating courage
Challenging
Providing focus
Effective Communication.
A candidate ought to be able to give an example of at least one of these from their own experience: for instance courage in protesting upwards at unfair treatment of their team, or providing focus by reminding colleagues of key priorities when people are drifting off course. If the candidate has not yet been in charge of a group of people, responding with examples of what they personally have done may be more difficult, but the ability to see the impact of leadership actions taken by other people would be a good substitute.
What are your favourite questions which draw out leadership potential?
