you a sample answer to the consultants interview question tell me your time when you demonstrated leadership here we go in my last consultancy role for a large company I suggested the organization provided training for all team leaders and middle managers in the facilitation and leading of change I felt all members of staff who occupied any type of leadership role would benefit from this type of training simply because the organization really needed to quickly improve performance in terms of turnover and profitability now although the training took three months in total to complete the results were significant
within the 12 months following the completion of the training the organization's turnover increased by 12% and profitability was up even higher now the productivity of staff also increased due to the new style of leadership that was implemented across the organization I like that answer because it is specific in nature you are suggesting an area for improvement which is training up of team leaders and middle managers and you are explaining the outcome and that is a perfect example of leadership as a consultant within an organization the next question you are working on a project and you
have two paths to take the standard par for a new path which one would you choose and why so this is a difficult but also very clever consultant interview question and most people would have no idea how to answer it correctly so here's the best way to respond to this interview question to show that you are a forward-thinking consultant let me just repeat the question you are working on a project and you have two paths to take either the standard path or a new path which one would you choose and why here's my answer in
the vast majority of situations I would choose the new path simply because this gives me the opportunity to be innovative and creative which is something I enjoy however if the project was urgent and it was for a client for example who had specific needs I would choose the tried and tested method simply because the challenge of taking on a new untested path would be too much of a risk so that shows it you are forward-thinking as a consultant you are innovative and you you know you understand the importance of trying out new things however you
are also saying that you will assess the risk and decide there in which path to take that's a great one so the next thing for you to do is to please click that link in the top right hand corner of the video and go through to my website past my interview comm it will take you through to a page where hey I've put up there 20 consultant interview questions please make sure you read them and you also have the option to download all of the answers to all of those 20 questions including the ones that
