Interview Question for Vice President at Glassdoor:

My management style varies depending on the employee. I've found that people are different so a one-size fits all style doesn't work. Some people respond to aggressive goals; others don't thrive on pressure. Some people prefer frequent check-ins; others prefer clear direction up front and then giving them space to get their work done.

Some general rules:
* Focus on hiring smart people with great problem solving skills and good communication.
* Take the time to explain the business value of the work they are assigned ensures motivation.
* And most importantly, having compassion for each person - show the person you value them, show the person you care when things are hard, and invest your time in the person.
