Answer:

As someone in a leadership position, I find that wise and efficient delegation is the best way to get the job done. I have confidence in my team members and believe that they have the expertise and good judgment needed to perform. In my position, I frequently need to rely on information generated by others and to collaborate with team members. When a leader is unable to delegate, other team members are discouraged from showing initiative and the leader ends up taking on an unrealistic workload, which inevitably leads to mistakes and systemic dysfunction. I consider my ability to delegate and utilize the strengths of my team members to be one of my greatest assets as a leader.

As you know I see from your resume that you worked at CC&L for four years, and that’s terrific. But I also noticed that you weren’t promoted during that time. Why not?So are you telling me that, now that you’re forty-something, you would be willing to start at an entry-level position just to get your foot in the door here?
