Interview question - how do you influence people? What's a good answer to this?

Answer 1

By being conscientious and hard working. Showing dedication to the job/task and encouraging others to meet their full potential. Setting a high standard as an example for others to work by. Also by putting the effort myself I would show that I wouldn't expect others to work harder than I would, that I expect the same commitment as I myself would give.

Answer 2

You can't tell people to be influenced. You influence by example. Being a role model yourself will enable you to stand in a good position to inspire. People will follow when they find you charismatic and consistent. It has to come from yourself.
