Describe your management style.
"My management style is flexible. However, my coworkers and employees that I've supervised would probably say that it is transformational. Encouraging employees to reach their maximum potential is something I feel is very important. When employees feel encouraged and that they have a voice, productivity and morale increases."
The purpose of this question is to determine if you have a management style that fits the team you'll be leading. Research has shown that employees are happier and more productive when they have a manager whose style matches their needs. Whether the team needs a more collaborative or hands-off manager, share the style that you think would be most effective in this department.
If you are uncertain, think about management styles used by your or previous supervisors and how the employees responded to those methods. You can also consider the following management styles:
-Transformational
-Visionary
-Democratic
-Training
-Laissez-fare
"My management style adapts based on the team I am supervising. I believe working in a sales environment. It is important to have a style that is more collaborative as we all work together to achieve a common goal. I've found that employees are most receptive and productive with this type of management style."
