QUESTION 15 OF 60

What type of manager brings out the best in you?

The interviewer is trying to understand your preferred style of management. The person interviewing you could be your potential manager, so this question will tell them if you would align well with them. Be sure you research Deloitte's culture and, if possible, research the background and education of the person you're interviewing with.

Consider past employers and the best leader you had. Think about their traits or habits that made you enjoy working with them. In your response, explain some of the qualities you're looking for in a leader but demonstrate that you're flexible and work under different management styles.

"My ideal manager genuinely cares about their employees and their success. I once had a manager who, in our one on ones, always started by asking how my family was, and that meant a lot. She would also ask what was going well and what wasn't and took a true interest in helping me succeed. I also value a manager with good communication skills. I appreciate when updates and changes are communicated, and my manager follows up when they say they will."

"I prefer a manager who gives me the training, tools, and resources to be successful and then trusts me to do the job. I appreciate being given autonomy while also knowing I have the support of my manager and team if needed. I also value a manager who keeps lines of communication open, and I feel comfortable approaching if I have a concern or need assistance."
