I've always found that people in positions of management have got there on bull-shit. Time for bed.
5555...obviously people who've never had the title....

Of course they have, but, you cant change anything from the bottom. Can you?Quote:

Having a person that is a good leader as well as a good manager is the optimal objective.

If it's a management position you are interviewing for I would recommend something like: "I tend to be a bit intense and work so hard that I have to take a couple of weeks off every year, just to recharge my batteries" HR managers, especially in in big companies should respond well to that.Quote:

This is one of those difficult interview questions that interviewers ask from time to time. The way you handle your response to the question might be as important if not more important than what you actually say.
The question is how to answer the question without making it look like you have a weakness that might prevent you from getting hired.
At the same time, you don't want to mention a weakness that isn't really a weakness and simply tell the interviewer what you think they want to hear.
Trust me, an experienced interviewer has heard every clichéd answer to this question and will know when you are feeding them a line.
The purpose of asking this question is firstly to see how you handle a stress question and secondly how you actually respond to it.
Here are some guidelines for responding when an interviewer asks what about your biggest weakness:
1. Answer the question honestly. It's always best to answer any interview question honestly (obviously) but this is an especially important one. Making up a weakness that isn't really a weakness will most likely be very noticeable to the interviewer. If they think you are lying, they may ask you for another weakness which will cause you even more trouble trying to think of one off the top of your head.
2. Don't mention a big weakness that could cost you the job. Your goal here isn't to lie of course, it's simply to present yourself as best you can. We all have weaknesses but it doesn't mean we tell an interviewer everything that we do wrong. If for example you are interviewing for a project manager job, it's probably best not to mention that you have trouble getting along with people since you're going to be constantly working with others.
3. Don't evade the question. Don't try to avoid answering the question. Also be careful about giving a clichéd weakness (ie. I work too hard) and then quickly stating how you deal with it. That looks too scripted and the interviewer has probably heard it one million times before. Admitting a real weakness but then stating what you are doing to improve yourself is preferable ie. "My presentation skills are not as strong as I'd like so I signed up for weekend presentation skills classes and also joined a Toastmasters club." Remember that the specific job you are interviewing for will help to determine how you answer the question.
4.Keep your answer factual and brief. Typically, stress questions such as these that put us on the spot tend to cause us to ramble on and speak for longer than we should especially if we're nervous. The best way to answer the question is to be well prepared and to know how you are going to answer the question before the interview. This will avoid you trying to think off the top of your head and saying more than you need to which could hurt your chances of getting the job.
5. Be careful about using "my biggest weakness is my biggest strength" as your response. Saying that "I'm a perfectionist" or something like that is another of those clichéd answers that people often give to this question. It will probably come across as being scripted and the interviewer will most likely determine that you got the answer from an interview tips book.

^^ you may have posed have put it as a rhetorical question but it's a good one. Management skills are akin to driving skills, every lad with a motor and is able to spin his wheels thinks he's a potential F1 Pilot, as I did when I was a lad but the reality is that the skill set and instinctive responses are a mile away from a road driver to that which a race driver has.
Asian and in particular Thai management expertise is particularly low, lack of bench marks and competition. they are not likely to improve while they base their performance on nationality.
The companies I have worked for had a Mix of nationalities based on performance selection by needs, not just those available at location.
Lets face it, most Thai middle management wouldn't even quality for an much lower grade in other Asian countries, let alone the west.
Managers are paid to take the blame when things go wrong.
Usually because they have caused it
Unfortunately a common practice. Blame for failure should be aimed at company senior leadership. Failure to communicate what is expected of managers and give them the resources and processes to meet company expectations will inevitably result in failure.Quote:

any probs i had were delt with just as i had been taught, nip it in the bud asap, before it gets around and gets costly.
so if a thin miserable old bloke blamed a drink not hot enough on a member of staff you could always tell with the "that fat girl over there" attitude, there was no point in educating him that a boiler in the back was broken and we were running on a small one that couldnt keep up with the work load until the pluber fixed it, you were as well to say your right sir its fattys fault :) she thinks its hot im same you i like it boiling :)
as long as they walk out of the door thinking they were right, then they will return.
I would have thought that most managers have been part of the working team before they were promoted
so what is the question all about?
Not these days Andy. A lot of the new breed, are on accelerated promotion upon joining a company, because they have a degree. So before they have had a chance to get to know the shop floor, they're moved into a position of management with very little knowledge of what, or who they're managing. Its a shame really, because if they had a little more experience, they would probably make decent managers (some of them anyway).

thanks for that.
In my industry (I.T) they always seem to try to take the best technicians and turn them into the worst managers.
The best manager that I ever had new very little about I.T, but had fantastic people skills and a great team to provide the technical skills that he didn't have.
Technicians usually don't enjoy being managers, as they can't enjoy the tinkering and bantering that they joined for in the first place. Having a manager parachuted atop technical types can be good if they are ultimately the engineer's bitch. :)Quote:
