An assistant general counsel will report to a senior member of the team - the general counsel, chief legal officer, etc. The interviewer wants to get an idea of whether you would fit in with the style of management currently in place on the team.

Answer this question honestly. If you answer vaguely in an attempt to move on in the interviewing process, you may run into issues later if the management style does not work for you. Also, remember that you are interviewing the company as well, so this can be an opportunity to ask about the general management style currently in place.

"I want to learn from the team leaders. I work well independently, so I do not respond well to micromanagement. While I appreciate feedback, I want a supervisor who trusts me to get the task done how I see fit. Perhaps we can discuss further whether this matches with the management style currently in place."
