What are the qualities of successful managers in this company?

在这家公司的成功管理者的素质有哪些？

 

If you're interviewing for a managerial position, you'll want knowledge of the skills and core competencies the company treasures in a leader, says David Lewis, founder and president of OperationsInc, a Connecticut-based human resources outsourcing and consulting firm. If excellent people skills and multitasking top the list, emphasize how you've demonstrated those traits throughout your career.

David Lewis是OperationsInc公司的创始人兼总裁，这家公司总部在康乃狄克州，主营人力资源外包和咨询。他说，”如果你去面试一个管理岗的职位，你就想知道这家公司看中领导者哪方面的技能。” 如果良好的人际交往能力和多任务处理能力在在最受关注之列，那么就要强调你在你的职业生涯当中你是如何体现出来的。

 

Interpreting the response: According to Lewis, you may get a response along these lines: "The best managers in our organization are independent thinkers, are good teachers and completely aligned with the direction the company is going in. " If he or she can't name a single star in the managerial stable, that's problematic and speaks to an organization short on progress and promotions, Lewis notes.

解读面试官的反应：Lewis表示，你可能会得到这样的回答：”我们公司里最好管理者都是独立的思考着，都是好的导师并且和公司发展方向完全一致。“如果她不能在管理队伍里例举出一个明星人物，那就有点问题了。而且这种情况有可能暗示着这家公司发展不顺，提拔少。”

 

If offered the position, can you give me examples of ways I would collaborate with my manager?

如果得到了这个职位，你能否举几个例子告诉我如何和我的经理合作？

 

As an entry-level staffer, you may want to work with management as a means to showcase your skills and move up. But there's a distinction between simply taking orders and actively working with a superior who is grooming you for something better. "[Finding] out how an organization utilizes people at the staff level is key," Lewis says. "Is it a dictatorial environment or a collaborative one? "

作为一个初入职场的员工，你需要知道如何和管理团队去合作以表现你的技能从而得到提拔。但是，和单单接受指令比起来，积极地去和一位愿意扶持你的上司公事是完全不同的。“这是一个专制的环境还是一个协作的环境？”

 

Interpreting the response: The employer may be short on examples or dismiss the notion of working with management altogether. Prod further, Lewis says, and find out why that it is. There may be a legitimate reason behind why the company doesn't promote collaboration.

解读面试官的反馈：雇主有无法例举出相关的例子并且可以避讳与管理层合作这样的概念。Lewis督促说，可以再进一步追问一下原因。、如果一家公司不提倡合作，其中也可能有合理的原因。
