Enter your interview ready to ask questions that are compelling and unique. If you ask the same questions that other candidates ask, you will not stand out as a critical thinker and can quickly put yourself in the same box as your competition.
Take your time to craft engaging questions that are custom to the interviewing company. Ask meaningful questions regarding how the team members prefer to be led and what challenges the former manager faced. With a critical eye, look at the company's job posting and see if you can draw out what you believe to be their biggest pain point. Ask yourself what the hiring company wants you to solve as their new manager, and direct your questions from those starting points.

"Thank you for asking. While preparing for this interview and performing extensive research on the organization, I thought of a few questions that I look forward to discussing. First, could you share with me the biggest challenge the most recent manager faced in this role? Can you describe the team's preferred leadership style? Last, what personal and professional development and growth opportunities are present for me as a manager and made available for the team?"
