When managing conflicts within a team, I believe in addressing issues directly and encouraging open communication. I would set up a time for the involved parties to discuss their concerns, facilitating a conversation that focuses on finding common ground and solutions, thus ensuring a harmonious work environment.

I believe in recognizing achievements, big or small. For instance, I once organized a fun competition among team members to boost morale during a slow week, which not only sparked friendly rivalry but also significantly improved our performance during the peak hours afterward.

To manage my time efficiently during busy shifts, I prioritize tasks and delegate responsibilities effectively. I always ensure that I’m available to support my team in critical moments while also staying on top of operational tasks, allowing the team to work seamlessly together.

I emphasize the importance of customer service by leading by example. I train my team to greet customers warmly and handle requests promptly, encouraging them to view every customer interaction as an opportunity to create a positive experience.

I implement regular inventory checks and maintain communication with suppliers to ensure we have the right stock levels. By analyzing sales trends and adjusting orders accordingly, I can minimize waste and optimize inventory turnover.

In my previous role, I noticed that our order-taking process was causing delays during peak hours. I proposed a revised system using a digital platform, which speeded up service and allowed us to track orders better, resulting in enhanced customer satisfaction.

I assess the team’s dynamics and the specific challenge at hand to adapt my leadership style accordingly. For example, during high-pressure periods, I take a more directive approach, while I foster collaboration and team involvement during quieter shifts.

One of the most challenging aspects is maintaining team morale during stressful periods. However, I believe it’s crucial to keep spirits high, and I do this by staying positive, supporting my team, and addressing concerns promptly.

I believe in hands-on training and mentorship. I start by pairing new employees with seasoned staff, allowing them to observe and engage in tasks, while I provide continuous feedback and support throughout their onboarding process.

I admire Domino's commitment to integrity and its focus on people. Becoming an Assistant Manager here is an opportunity to blend my love for teamwork with my passion for customer service, while contributing positively to the team and customers alike.
