Describe a time you led a team or took initiative on a project. How did you ensure that every member felt respected and included?
Why This Is Asked
Nestlé's culture is explicitly built on respect. They want to see if you can lead collaboratively, especially as a management trainee who will work across functions.
General Approach
Use the STAR format clearly. Choose a specific example, quantify results if possible, and explicitly describe how you actively ensured everyone participated and felt valued.
Sample STAR Answer▾
Situation
As the president of our university's business society, I led a fundraising bazaar with 15 volunteers from different year levels and courses.
Task
I needed to delegate tasks efficiently while maintaining high morale and making sure everyone's voice was valued, especially since some members were shy or new.
Action
I started with one-on-one chats to understand each volunteer's strengths and comfort zones. I rotated roles so no one felt stuck, held short daily huddles where everyone could suggest improvements, and publicly recognized contributions. When a disagreement arose over booth placement, I facilitated a discussion where both sides presented their reasoning, and we reached a compromise without anyone feeling sidelined.
Result
The bazaar raised PHP 50,000 for our charity, and exit feedback showed that 14 of 15 volunteers felt their ideas were heard and their contributions mattered, a big leap from previous events.
