Questions to Ask to Identify a Good Manager
Bend, OR - March 30, 2023
Good managers can be tough to find, especially if you aren’t
sure which qualities to look for. Management styles can impact the mood of the
company and set the tone for the future, so it is important that you find the
best management style that fits your needs. A top staffing agency has identified four
questions to ask a potential manager as an employer or a potential employee
candidate.
How Would
You Build Company Morale?
Managers have a major impact on the tone of the working
environment, and companies with positive morale tend to be more productive and
have lower turnover rates. Asking this question will allow you, as both an
employer and job seeker, to understand the potential manager’s intentions and
capabilities when addressing the culture of the company.
What is Your
Approach to Delegating Work?
Delegating tasks can be a telltale sign of how well a
manager is going to run a team of employees. A good manager will separate tasks
according to the employee’s job description and strengths, set achievable
deadlines, and avoid micromanaging. Use this question to see if the management
style discussed will be a productive approach and fitting for you.
How Would
You Describe Your Leadership Style?
There are many different types of leadership styles, and
each comes with a set of pros and cons. Leadership style is typically very
dependent on the direction a company is trying to go in and based on individual
preference. There will never be a perfect choice that fits every employee’s
preferred style, but a good leader is easy to spot, even if they don’t check
all of your boxes. Use this question to obtain more insight into their habits
and personality.
What
Previous Positions Have Prepared You for This Role?
Previous management experience is a good indicator of how a
manager will act in their new role. Although using past experience is not
always one hundred percent accurate, it does provide you with a general
understanding of a potential manager’s ability to oversee a team. A good
manager will be able to discuss successful projects they have led and have great
recommendations from past employers and employees.
Management styles come in all different types, and finding
the right fit for you can seem like a difficult task, but using these questions
will help you discover more about the person’s personality and leadership
style. Discover more questions and manager qualities to seek out by contacting
