What type of leadership style do you feel you thrive working under?
The interviewer wants to get an idea of the type of leader that you work best with. Your answer to this question will help the interviewer to understand if you will work well with the management team that oversees the role that you are interviewing for.
Talk about the type of leadership you work best with. If you prefer a leader who gives you your space to work state that now. If you thrive working under a very direct leader, talk about why you feel that type of leadership benefits you.
"I work really well with a supervisor who is direct but also very approachable. I like to know exactly what the expectations of my management team are, but I also enjoy working with supervisors who I can feel comfortable going to ask questions or to request clarification."
