Job Interview Question & Answer: What Qualities Do You Look For In A Boss? |

How to Answer the Question:
Be honest but somewhat vague when answering this question. Say that desirable managerial qualities are an effective management style, good communication skills, and an understanding of the needs of employees. Try not to talk about particular bosses or personal qualities. Stay professional and stick to managerial style instead.
Although this is not a trick question, it is worth being careful. The employer isn’t necessarily looking for you to say that you want to work for a boss exactly like them. What they are looking for are the tell-tale signs of a potential employee who has interpersonal issues. Never talk about the reason you disliked prior bosses. Always highlight the positives. Even if you’ve never liked a boss, pick one and choose a quality they had you might admire. An example might be that a previous boss was good at training new employees or handled conflict resolution well.
