For this one you don't have to talk about the management styles that you'd see in a business class, the interviewer doesn't need a certain name for the style you have. The interviewer wants to know how you management people- do you have an open door policy where staff can stop by with issues or should they make a meeting or do you let your staff handle it themselves?

The interviewer wants to know that you know how to manage a staff fairly and can handle managing both staff and youth. You can talk about the different ways you keep staff organizing- how do you rely information when everyone comes in at a different time? Do you hold monthly staff meetings, or individual meetings? Some of these decisions will have to wait till you meet the staff and get to know them, but you can talk to the interviewer about how you've managed staff in the past.
