Choose the right perspective
Match the person's level to your question, since a regional vice president and a market-level senior director see the job from different distances. Look at how recently each person took their current role, because a leader new to a region and one who has run it for years will describe different problems.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What did you look at first when you took over your region or market, and why?
- 02How do you decide where to spend your time across the clubs you are responsible for?
- 03Which habits from your earlier roles do you still rely on as a regional leader?
