When approaching this question, consider that there is a difference between attributes and skills. An attribute is a quality you naturally have where skills are learned through your education, training, and experiences. When the interviewer asks about important attributes, they want to know more about the qualities and characteristics you consider most important rather than the 'hard skills' of a manager.
There are many attributes that a manager should possess. Choose one that you believe to be most important, and be ready to discuss how you emulate this characteristic. Give a story-based example that supports your claim.
Some attributes to consider:
- Enthusiasm
- Drive
- Initiative
- Competency
- Positive mindset
