Sample interview questions

  1. You talk a lot about emotions, yet in business, emotions are often seen as unprofessional, weak or not relevant for performance. So why do we now need to consider emotions?

  2. Leaders are so busy looking after their business, how can they possibly also take care of their employees’ feelings?
