Q1. "In your view, how significant is strategic planning in this managerial position?”
Ans. I believe that it helps keep the employees focused and goal-oriented, it helps to lay down the specific short-
term steps required to achieve a particular long-term goal. It facilitates allocating the resources, working capital, and
investments required and also lays down the specifics of the time, energy, and skills required to perform a particular
task so that, they can be assigned to respective employees.
Allows the manager to lay back, delegate, and focus on what’s important. In today's dynamic business environment,
strategic planning helps me to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. Strategic plans serve as communication

responsibilities, and performance expectations for each team member. When expectations are well-defined, it's
easier for everyone to understand their roles and responsibilities. Regularly providing constructive feedback to my
team members is part of my efforts to maintain a positive workplace. Acknowledge their accomplishments and offer
guidance for improvement. I address conflicts and issues promptly and fairly. Mediate disputes and encourage a
collaborative approach to problem-solving. It's also very important to stay open to accommodate reasonable
requests for flexibility in work arrangements, such as remote work or flexible hours, when possible and within the
context of your organization's policies.
Q3. "How do you assign tasks and determine their priority?"
Ans. I start by evaluating your workload and identifying tasks that can be delegated. I focus on tasks that require
your specific expertise or attention. When delegating a task, I clearly define its objectives, scope, and any deadlines
or performance standards. I ensure that the person receiving the task understands their responsibilities. I give my
team members the resources and information they need to complete the task successfully. This may include access
to tools, training, or relevant documentation. I stay engaged in the process by checking in periodically to monitor
progress, offer guidance, and answer questions. However, avoid micromanaging. When I delegate a task, I empower
my team members to make decisions related to that task. This not only reduces my workload but also fosters a
sense of ownership and responsibility.
