Example Leadership Interview Grids

As you've already learned, one of the best ways to prepare for your interview is to gather stories about your experiences that can be modified to fit different interview questions. These stories should be included in your interview preparation grids:

• Leadership Interview Preparation Grid: This grid has categories of leadership questions relevant to individual contributors and managers.

• People Management Interview Preparation Grid: This grid is only relevant if you're applying for a management role.

We have covered most of the categories from these grids and provided tips on how to choose the best situation for each category. It is crucial to have a story in mind for each category. To facilitate this process, create a copy of the grid and write down your stories. By following these steps, your preparation grids will take shape and look similar to the following examples.
