A leader and a manager can be seen as different things – which is why interviewers may focus on these questions more during management-level interviews. Do you approach management as leading a team by example or by keeping people on task? Giving examples to the following will help the company understand more about your approach.

  • Describe a project you successfully managed end-to-end. What challenges did you face and what did you do to overcome them?

  • What would you suppose your subordinates feel are your strengths and shortcomings as a manager, from their point of view?
  • Do you follow any performance management systems?
    Don’t be thrown by duplicate or probing questions. Stay confident in your approach and be sincere about your management background. If you don’t have professional management experience, try and equate the experience you do have in other applicable ways. :grinning:
