TRAPS: The two traps here are unpreparedness and
irrelevance. If you grope for an answer,
it seems you've never been inspired. If you ramble about your high school
basketball coach, you've wasted an opportunity to present qualities of great
value to the company.
BEST ANSWER: Have a few heroes in mind, from your mental
"Board of Directors" -- leaders in your industry, from history or
anyone else who has been your mentor.
Be prepared to give examples of how, their words, actions or
teachings have helped inspire your achievements. As always, prepare an answer, which
highlights qualities that would be highly valuable in the position you are
seeking.
