Team Leadership Interview

[P.J.]

Hello,

Elections for our new captains are coming soon, so one my former mentors and myself have been tasked with creating the questions for the debate section of the process. We were trying to think of some, and I thought it might be a good idea to come to the world of Chief Delphi to get some help. Any thoughts are appreciated.

A little background: Every year 910 elects two captains for the following year. The only requirement is having earned a varsity letter in Robotics, which in and of itself requires 2 years on the team and X number of hours of work (don't remember the number off the top of my head)

The election process requires a candidate to submit an application, and then there is an interview/debate before the election. So our main problem is trying to decide on questions to ask.

We're basically looking for the types of questions that show good leadership skills, for example what is your biggest strength/weakness, why do you want to be captain, what do you bring that is unique, etc.

Also, any feedback any other team has on this method would be useful too. Always good to hear other opinions.

Thanks

-P.J.
