The way you approach this question will show the interviewer how well you understand the expectations of the role, including the function of the Associates you will be guiding every day.
To perform your due diligence, consider looking up the job requirements for the people you will be leading. For instance, Amazon has many Associate positions listed on their website. You can comb through those responsibilities and consider the tools your Associates would need to succeed in their tasks. On YouTube, you will find videos from Amazon covering a 'day in the life' of an Area Manager. These videos are another helpful resource for you!
In one video, an Amazon Area Manager describes their relationship with each Associate like a doctor/nurse relationship - except that the Associate is the doctor and the Area Manager is the nurse. The Area Manager is responsible for ensuring each associate has the tools and support they need to succeed in their role. The ultimate goal is for you as an Area Manager to remove barriers to your Associate's work.

"I believe the most important tools my Associates will need to succeed in any task during their shift is engagement and encouragement from their leaders, clear direction, timely updates, proper training for each task as well as safety training. As an Area Manager, I will work tirelessly to engage with each Associate on their shift. I will work directly with them to ensure their performance is up, they have what they need to remain productive, and that they are equipped with the knowledge needed to produce high-quality and safe work."
