Team Leadership Interview

[klrswift]

Thanks guys! These are great questions.

I usually ask some questions panel style where each candidate answers the question in front of everyone (I limit these because the nature of how it is asked can make all of the responses the same) and most are asked to an individual and if others are offered a chance for a retort. This year, I'm expecting to have potentially up to 6 or 7 candidates (up to 11 eligible with 7 seniors and 4 juniors). Our current captains were both juniors this year and will be up for re-election (we only had 1 returning senior this year!) Any ideas of anything to ask them?

Just some simple questions:

Why do you think you'd be a good leader?

How have you proven to the team that you can lead them/ what have you done that would have earned their respect?

What would you say you got most from being on this team?

What would you do, were you you elected team?

• How would you help potential future team leaders who don't have as much experience on the team and in FIRST?
• What kind of example would you set?

(For Seniors and Juniors)
You are nearing the end of your FIRST student career. What are you thinking about the future (In college, with FIRST, with the team)?

These are just a bunch of questions pertaining to character, and to some extent, dedication to the team and FIRST. We do things a little differently on SparX, so I wish I had more advice. Best of luck though.

See you at IRI!!!
