The interviewer is curious if you are self-guided in your work or require direction and supervision to succeed in your efforts. Tell the interviewer which of the five main leadership types you work best with - authoritarian, participative, delegative, transactional, and transformational. Then offer insights into your approach towards your work and how the leadership type you work best with motivates you. Feel free to follow up by asking Pernod-Ricard SA about their management approach or the approach of the person to whom you will be reporting.

"I prefer management where I am assigned my tasks and goals and then allowed to run with it for the most part. Collaborative team environments where trust is present, but I am still held accountable for my goals and targets best suits me. Could you describe the management style at Pernod-Ricard SA?"

"I am most successful when given the space to explore sales approaches and build customer relationships the way I know best. I have had roles where I needed to follow a sales script verbatim, which felt unnatural and uncomfortable. I look for mentorship and coaching qualities in the people I report to, and in return, I am highly accountable for my goals and targets. Would you say this describes the management style at Pernod-Ricard?"

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! Wanting your manager to trust you is definitely understandable. Perhaps consider mentioning as well that you are adaptable and able to work under most management styles, although your preference is an atmosphere that is more hands-off and built on trust.
