Sample Answer -
Given my experience, delegating responsibility and authority is very important. It is suggested that team should develop and grow as individuals and a whole, and not be held back by low expectations.
I strongly believe in building a team where each team member should be clear on their role, as per their fit and the team should feel as if they can depend on one another. As the managing authority I believe in real-time feedback. Since it is important to understand if you do something wrong and rectify at the earliest.
