Question

I applied for an account assistant position. Can you give me just some general answers of these questions?

a. How could you help us reach our vision- statement goals?

b. Which of our values resonate with you and why?

Answer 1

1. How could you help us reach our vision- statement goals?

1. Leadership and values

Rather than using a textbook definition, ask yourself: What kind of leader do I hope to be based on my values? What kind of leadership do I want to bring to the workplace based on my experiences, upbringing and beliefs?

2. Wealth

Building wealth goes far beyond making money. What does your wealth translate into? Tangible categories like financial security, philanthropy and what you will leave for the next generation are rewards on the other side of wealth.

3. Time

Make every minute count. Are you spending your time in ways that make you feel fulfilled or frustrated? What do you love doing? How much time do you hope to devote to family, friends, hobbies, work and other interests? Be honest with yourself and consider asking the people closest to you for their opinions, too.

4. Lifestyle

Don’t hold back. What does your ideal lifestyle look like? Are you hitting the gym, enjoying an evening concert, attending classes, reading books? What in your life is missing? What is holding you back?

5. Workplace culture

Business owners influence workplace culture. So be intentional about it. If youth mentorship is important to you, then transform your personal goal of supporting area youth through company volunteerism or mentorship programs.

6. Your passions

We’ve all heard we should follow our passions, but what does this really mean? Dig deep and remember what you loved in years past: teaching, travel, writing, creating art or helping others.

7. Customer relationships

Do you want more interaction with customers or less?

8. Exit strategy/succession

Begin with the end in mind and then work backwards. Involve your key advisers.

9. Extreme achiever dreams

Being the first with a patent or climbing Mount Everest or solving a global dilemma are high-achieving goals. What big mark do you want to make on the world, and how can your business help you achieve it

1. Which of our values resonate with you and why?

• People who demonstrate integrity, respect, and teaming
• People with energy, enthusiasm, and the courage to lead
• People who build relationships based on doing the right thin
• Passion, because without it, none of the other values matter.
• Make sure to connect emotionally. They want to make this challenging, and just reading prices won't make a sale. I had them visualize themselves 40 pounds lighter and asked them how that felt, asked them why they wanted to lose it, etc...
• Answer them, and be sure to mention you will always be willing to learn for the ones you are uncomfortable with.
• I suggested an outdoor fitness class that was donation based to go to a charity, and then do a member BBQ afterwards.
