What is the best way to determine management style of a potential new boss? I'm interviewing for an internal promotion. The role sounds great but I've heard mixed reviews on the person I'd report to. Do I trust what the rumor mill is telling me or how well I click with her in the interview?

Ask them how they would handle a certain situation. I used to bartend and I would ask the hiring manager how they would handle a busy night when they were on shift and the crew was struggling trying to catch up.

Who do you trust that can give you an honest assessment of this leader? I always if at all possible recon all the people that I would possibly be reporting to and as long as it’s coming from a trusted source, there’s your answer.

You already have the gossips. Everyone has its own feeling about people.
Go and check by yourself as your criteria for a good boss are your own (I hope for you) and not the one of the others.
As OP1 said, ask questions about
how they will handle a crisis situation,
how do they manage stress: their and the one of the team.
what do they consider being successful in this new position.
