"If my supervisor asked me to do something in a way I was not used to, I would make sure that I was clear on expectations. Clear communication is important to me, and if there's anything that I could be doing better, I want to know about it right away. Could you share with me your leadership style?"

The interviewer wants to know that you can take direction and that you aren't too proud to accept feedback and additional training from time to time. Every manager has a communication style, so it's a great time to ask the interviewer what their leadership style is.

"First, I would make sure I understood what my supervisor was asking. If there is another way of doing something, I might ask if they could show me what they are talking about. I would rather get something done right the first time than have to waste time and energy doing it a second time just because I misunderstood what was needed."
