QUESTION 15 OF 35

What type of manager brings out the best in you?

The interviewer wants to see if you understand the type of manager or employer that brings out the best in you. Some individuals prefer a close working relationship with a lot of accountability, while others prefer space and autonomy. If you are unsure of the management style of the interviewing company, leave your answer as open as possible. It could also help to understand the five main leadership types - authoritarian, participative, delegative, transactional, and transformational - and define your approach towards each.

"I have worked with a wide range of personalities and management styles with great success. If I could express a preference, I feel I am best in an independent and autonomous environment. Can you describe the management style here?"

"I work best with managers who are highly communicative and approachable. I don't enjoy working in a hierarchy-based environment as it often does not offer room for new ideas and creative thinking. How would you describe your management style?"
