Describe your project management style and how you feel it will benefit our organization.

"I would describe my project management style as democratic. I put a lot of effort into empowering my teams and recognizing the individual strengths of my team members. From my research and understanding, this company promotes a vibe of health, safety, and trust, which seems to be an excellent fit for my collaborative approach. I trust the judgment of other decision-makers on my team and believe in offering freedom and autonomy to my team members when it comes to letting their specific strengths shine."

"I am sure that my project management style will shift and pivot as I continue to build my career; however, as it stands now, I would describe myself as a 'servant leader.' I believe in putting people first because project execution is at its best when the team is healthy. This approach will benefit your organization as I know that employee turnover has been a significant pain point for you over the past couple of years. My servant leader approach will produce results and help your teams to see that their organization genuinely cares about their progress and well-being. Of course, I will ensure an appropriate balance between caring for my team and ensuring that we meet project markers."

Before your interview, it is best to do your research and determine what type of management style the company is looking for in a healthcare project manager. You want to avoid describing your project management style as completely different from what the interviewer seeks in their ideal candidate. Even if your style is somewhat different, try to include the qualities the company is looking for in a project manager in your response. If you review the job announcement before your interview, you can determine what traits the company is looking for.
