Company Principles and Leadership Alignment Questions

Demonstrate an understanding of how company level principles and leadership values intersect and how you align with both. This covers describing how company principles should be reflected in leadership behaviors, how leadership decisions reinforce organizational values, and examples showing you applied both company level policies and leadership practices consistently. Interviewers test whether you can connect high level principles to day to day leadership choices and team outcomes.
