Questions to Ask to Spot a Good Manager
Chandler, AZ - March 30, 2023
Good managers are a very sought-after talent and finding
management styles that help increase productivity and boost company culture can
be a challenging task, especially when you aren't sure what to look for.
However, a leading career company
will discuss four questions to ask potential managers to help you narrow your
search!
How Would
You Handle Employee Conflict?
When managing a team, there are bound to be a few little
tiffs and disagreements here and there. Working in a team can have its
challenges for some employees, seeing as there are many different personalities
and opinions involved. A good manager should be able to address the issues
privately with the individuals and bring their team to a mutual agreement if
they do not completely resolve the issue.
What Does
Being a Team Player Mean to You?
Managers should be team players to a certain degree. It can
be tricky for a manager to establish themselves as both a team player and an
authoritative figure within their workplace, and doing so is a telltale sign of
good leadership skills. Use this question as a guideline for addressing the
topic, and even take it a step further by asking how they blend the two.
How Would
You Describe Your Leadership Style?
Leadership styles are a key indicator of how well a manager
will fit into your business or if their style will work for you as a potential
employee. There are many different types of leadership styles, and you should
familiarize yourself with the seven most common types before your interview.
Doing so will help you match personality traits and qualities to those of a
good manager and identify any negative characteristics that you might want to
steer away from.
What
Qualities Do You Bring to Enhance Company Culture?
Company culture is an important part of a company as a
whole. Companies that have poor morale and work environments tend to see an
increase in turnover rates and lower productivity levels in comparison to a
company that prioritizes creating a positive work culture. Good managers should
always add positive traits to the company culture as they set the tone for the
workspace on a daily basis.
At the end of the day spotting good managers can be a
challenge, but when you know what questions and qualities to look for, you can
simplify the task tremendously. These four questions are just a starting point,
and you can find more information by connecting with a job center in your area. Don’t
be afraid to put these questions to use and feel free to add more if needed.
