I’m preparing for an internal interview and wondering the best way to ask about the leadership style of the new team’s leader.

I currently work for a manager with a l growth and development mindset and I value that, but within the company there is a variety of leadership styles ranging from monarchal/hierarchical to growth-mindset-oriented/flatarchical. My biggest concern is leaving a leader who values growth for a leader who does not, so how would you assess this in an interview?

    At my interviews I ask them how they give feedback and for a recent example. For those I get a good feel for I skip the question and ask them “when was the last time you received feedback from your team and how did you process it?”. This is super important to me because it clues me in to their management and communication style.
