City Manager Question:

You could start your answer by giving a brief definition of what 'management' means to you. But overall, this is an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of professional boundaries. While managers are still members of a team you'll need to show employers, by using relevant examples from previous experience, how you maintain a professional distance while still remaining on good terms with those who you manage.

Managers who work too independently risk isolating themselves from their team, but those who are too friendly may undermine their own authority. Demonstrate how you strike the balance between these two approaches.
