This question has two parts; be sure to answer both. First, list and describe the four basic skills leaders need to have. Next, imagine that you are the manager of a technology (IT) help desk at a large law firm. Propose open-ended interview questions you might ask potential applicants to assess whether or not they possess these four basic skills.
What will be an ideal response?
Leaders need four basic skills:
1. Cognitive abilities—to identify problems and their causes in rapidly changing situations
2. Interpersonal skills—to influence and persuade others
3. Business skills—to maximize the use of organizational assets
4. Strategic skills—to draft an organization's mission, vision, strategies, and implementation plans
Students should propose open-ended interview questions that will help interviewers determine whether job applicants have these skills.
