Show the interviewer that you are self-aware and understand the type of manager or employer that brings out the best in you, whether that's a close working relationship with a lot of accountability or a more hands-off approach where you have more autonomy. If you're unsure about your preference, try to make your answer as open as possible while aligning with the management style you know CVS adheres to.
"I have worked with many personalities and management styles with great success. If I could express a preference, I feel I work best with a manager who allows me autonomy while still investing time in me through mentorship and training. I have researched the collaborative management style you instill in your managers, and I know this style will bring out the best in me."
"In the past, I have worked best with managers who are strong mentors but also offer autonomy when it comes to the tasks they know I am well-versed in. A manager who recognizes my strengths and helps me develop my weaknesses is ideal. Additionally, I appreciate a manager who leads by example and sets a positive tone for the team. When my manager respects and empowers me, I am motivated to do my best work."
