This question is not referring to your personality or character as much as it's asking about your methodology and approach to management. Talk to the interviewer about your day-to-day approach to managing people, projects, communicating expectations, and collaborating with others.
Difference management styles include:
- Collaborative
- Well-Planned
- Speedy
- Flexible or Adaptive
- Independent
- Company-focused

Talk to the interviewer about what you honestly feel your team would say about your management style. Describe your strong points and even a shortcoming when it comes to your management skills. To successfully deliver your response, show that you are confident in your approach, while also showing a desire to continually improve.

"I often ask my team members for feedback on my leadership skills. The points that consistently come up are that I am a clear communicator and that I am approachable. One thing that I could work on is my ability to be more concise in my direction, but I have been working on that factor. I've been reading a leadership book called 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman, and feel that I have improved significantly from the advice in this book."
