What's the most difficult decision you've made recently?
Why are you interested in this position/this company?
What do you see yourself five years later in this organization?
關於leadership，我們國人的概念是leader就是領導，就是有壹定權力的人，有下屬匯報的人。但要知道，有的人在領導的位置上，不壹定就有leadership，而有的人不在領導的位置上，但他或她可能在工作當中表現出很好的leadership的素質和能力。英文這個所謂的leadership很抽象，很難具體化。但是，leadership can be demonstrated in different ways.
For example, sometimes, a leader needs to be a change agent. When you initiate something new to change the common practice or the status quo, you have to rationalize your ideas, convince others, motivate them to change, and overcome various obstacles etc. In this case, you are in a leadership role.
Another example. Sometimes, it'd be more difficult to lead people and have them work in concert when they are not reporting you. In my case, as an Export Sales Manager in charge of export sales to China, Japan and Korea, I need internal production, processing and logistic teams to work with me and to insure the production is in place on time, the product quality meets my customer's requirement and the shipments to my customers are on time. It takes leadership and teamwork skills to get the job done.
Leadership can also be demonstrated in crisis management, for example, when there is a quality problem with your company's products that may potentially cause a huge loss or negative publicity to your company or your customer. It takes leadership to act fast and decisively, so that the situation would be remedied and the potential damage would be minimized.
Leadership can be also demonstrated when you successfully carry out a project under the challenging timeline or with limited resource, or when you take initiative, identify a potential business opportunity and bring a new revenue stream to the company.
最主要的是不要把leadership理解的很教條和僵化。美國人可以把小小的或看似簡單的事情給安上壹個漂亮的名字。就象project這個詞。只要是有這麼壹件事情，有壹定的objective, 需要人力物力在壹定的時間裡完成，都可以稱之為project. 你完成個作業都可以是個project. 所以你沒當過領導不要緊。大家把自己的工作經歷和人生經歷好好想壹想，找出關於leadership的例子應該是不難的。
關於teamwork的問題，有很多varieties. 面試者可能有不同的方式發問。比如：
Give me an example how you work with a team to solve a problem/carry out a project
Give me an example that how you encourage your team members to do their jobs.
Give me an example that how you deal with resistance in a team.
想提醒大家的是，這些例子之間不是mutually exclusive。你可能有壹個例子，which may fit different settings, such as leadership, teamwork, project management, problem-solving or initiative-taking. 你也有好幾個不同的例子可以展示同壹個quality。壹般來說，你需要准備至少8 - 10 個例子來回答我列出的這幾個topics.- 新聞來源於其它媒體，內容不代表本站立場！
