QUESTION 20 OF 30

What type of manager brings out the best in you?

The management team at Crate and Barrel is always on the lookout for ways that they can bring out the best in their team -- they have a keen eye for potential and a love of watching their team grow stronger together. Describe a positive relationship you've had with a manager in the past. What made this relationship so successful?

"The best manager I ever had really embodied the servant-leadership paradigm. She made it a common practice to have one-on-one meetings with each of her team-members every month or so to talk about our engagement in the work as well as what she could be doing better to bring out our best. The fact that she asked what she could be doing better instead of assuming her employees were the ones with room for improvement spoke volumes to me. She's a leader I really admire."
