Any advice for inheriting a team?

I'm interviewing for a role where I'd have a coordinator and specialist report to me. I come from an agency environment where I've overseen junior team members on projects I lead, but this would be my first time I'd formally be a manager.

Anything I should keep an eye out for in my interviews? Or anything I should do to reassure I'm capable of the leadership?

Getting a group of people to come together as a team is one of the most rewarding aspects of a being a manager. Think about the best manager you ever worked for and what made him or her a great manager. For the interview try and ascertain the management style the team requires...from the front, from behind or alongside them. What kind of leader was the previous manager? Then make sure your passion for developing people comes across and be clear about what you value, what you stand for and what you are willing to tolerate.

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
