Job Interview Questions and Answers for Managers

Question 78:  What type of management style do you believe is most effective? 

Generally, managers should not be dictators or pushovers.  Sample answer:  "I believe that a manager's job is to balance company goals with worker satisfaction in order to make the operation as efficient and profitable as possible.  For example, a big part of Wal-Mart's success is the management philosophy of Sam Walton, who believed taking care of his employees was just as important as taking care of his customers.  You don't see that much anymore, which is why so many companies are not nearly as profitable as they could be." 

Note that many companies do not place very much importance on employee satisfaction and therefore, the sample answer above might not get you the job.  If you can, research a company before the interview to find out more about its culture in order to formulate an answer that will impress the interviewer.
