  2. If you must make a choice between hurting your team's goal or ethics, what a good leader should choose?
  3. Say your boss wants you and your team to do something that isn't good for your team's goals. After lots of arguments, your boss does not change his/her mind. How would you handle this situation?
  4. How a good leader should treat his/her equals in the team? What can you do to harness his/her abilities without producing conflicts in leadership or ego-clash?
  5. How a good leader would pass the unpleasant news to the team without hurting the morals and motivation?
  6. In certain phase of a project you need your team to heavily overwork for a some period. What are the good things to do to keep the team alive and motivated in such times?

  9. Communication is of atmost important to the team. But is it good or bad to have lots of discussions?
  10. What are the good rules of thumb for good signal-to-noise ratio for team brainstorming sessions?
  11. A very capable and essential team member of yours asks you for a raise but you do not have funds. How would you keep him/her?
  12. Say you lead a large team and you can't recruite every single team member personally any longer. What are the general good recruiting policies a leader can set up avoid the weak nodes in your team?
  13. If you had to choose between following two candidates, what job attributes you would consider for the best match? enthusiatic but unexperienced college grads and less passionate but highly experienced professionals.
  14. How a good leader should respond when he/she finds certain team members does not respect or have a belief in him/her?
