Real-Life Manager Interview

Choose a manager (who supervises multiple employees) with whom you can sit face-to-face for 30 minutes to ask some managerial questions.

Required interview questions:

  1. How many employees do you supervise directly? What do they do? (generally, e.g. clerks, technicians, auditors, managers, etc.) What kind of information about them do you keep track of (e.g. their experience, skills, etc.) that is necessary to manage them effectively?
  2. Do you manage employees individually or as a whole group?
  3. Do you keep track of or measure any workplace attitudes (e.g. job satisfaction, employee engagement, etc.)? Why? How do you measure them?
  4. How do you motivate your employees?
  5. Can you give me some tips on how to be an effective leader?
  6. How do you resolve conflicts in the workplace? Do you need to play politics sometimes?

You can ask additional or follow-up questions as well. After the interview, organize the answers and prepare 4 to5 pages, essay-type report that consists of the following titles/sections:
