- Demonstrate inclusive and inspiring leadership qualities.
- Ask insightful questions that show thorough research and critical thinking.
Thinking into the Future
To secure a senior role, it's crucial to shift the interviewer's focus from your past achievements to the company's future and your potential impact. Instead of merely recounting your background, articulate how you can help the company achieve its goals step by step. Frame your responses and questions to address their ambitions and demonstrate a clear vision of how you will contribute to their success.
Inclusive and Inspiring Leadership
Demonstrating inclusive and inspiring leadership is vital for senior-level candidates. During the interview process, reference insights and ideas from other people you've interviewed with to show that you are inclusive and interested in their perspectives. By acknowledging their contributions and seeking further insight from senior executives, you plant the idea that you are already part of the team and can inspire those around you.
Asking Questions with Follow-Up
When asking questions during the interview, avoid those that lead to dead-end answers. Instead, ask questions that allow for follow-up and deeper exploration. This demonstrates that you are well-researched, thoughtful, and committed to gathering all necessary information to make informed decisions. It also assures the interviewers that you will apply the same thoroughness when working with your staff, leading to well-educated decisions.
Additional Resources
The video promotes two free resources to help viewers excel in job interviews: the "Ace Your Job Interview" e-book, which provides effective responses to common interview questions, and a webinar titled "Three Keys to Ace Any Job Interview," which offers additional e-books, including "How to Interview the Employer," containing 75 questions to ask before accepting a job.
