How to Spot a Good Manager
Albany, OR - March 30, 2023
There are many different types
of management styles; some can increase a business's productivity, while others
can have a detrimental impact on the company's morale. Finding a good manager
can be difficult for both the employer and the job seeker. So, what are a few
questions you should ask a potential manager? A top job company will discuss four key questions
you should ask when either hiring for a manager position or looking to join a
new company.
How Would
You Go About Inspiring Your Team?
Building team morale is important to the project and to
building rapport between coworkers. A good manager should recognize employees’
strengths and weaknesses when creating teams for future projects. Understanding
how a potential manager would inspire a team will give you, as an employer or a
job seeker, insight into how the team dynamics would work within the company
and if it’s the right direction for you or the business.
What is Your
Preferred Communication Style?
There are four common communication styles identified within the workplace: passive, aggressive,
passive-aggressive, and assertive. You should familiarize yourself with the
pros and cons of each communication type. Doing so will allow you to easily identify
a manager’s communication style after discussing it with them and decide if
that style fits you and your needs.
What
Qualities Do You Bring to Enhance Company Culture?
It is important to understand what a manager brings to the
table and how their leadership style will impact company culture. As an
employer, you should look for qualities in a potential manager that align with
the direction you want to take the company and how well those traits would
blend with your current employees. For a potential employee, you should
identify the manager’s qualities and attributions to company culture and
determine if you would thrive in that environment.
Do You Have
Previous Management Experience?
Asking about previous management experience will give you
better insight into a potential manager’s qualifications and skills they have
developed through previous employment. A good testament to a manager’s
abilities is by referencing feedback from past employees and their feelings
about their previous work environment.
Whether you are a potential employee, or an employer seeking
out a capable manager, asking these four questions will allow you to understand
their leadership styles and if they would be a good fit for you. If you still
need further assistance in this area, consider reaching out to staffing agencies
in your area for specialized help in this field.
