Assertiveness Question:

Another area that interviewers explore is a candidate's desire and ability to motivate others. These questions help the interviewer determine whether the candidate made the effort to motivate others and whether that effort resulted in increased morale and productivity. They also help the interviewer see if a candidate appears confident of his ability to motivate others. Questions might include "Please provide an example of a time when you motivated your coworkers. What was the outcome of your actions?" or "Can you provide an example of a time when you failed to motivate a coworker whom you attempted to help?"
