I typically keep my questions around fit and culture. Ie could this person lead in my practice and command respect and authority from our clients and teammates. At this point the other interviews should have flushed out competency gaps

What is your name?

funny

Yes I already had three separate interviews with three senior managers this is the last one

Huh. Nice EY1. I didn’t realize it was more centered on culture and leadership! Very cool

What is your quest?

What is your favourite colour?

What is the wing velocity of an unladen swallow?

Do you like gladiator movies?

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

“What do you think differentiates managers from your current level?” “What’s your passion?”

First question tells me what they are going to prioritize or take on in the new role. Second question gives them a chance to talk. It also tells me if they’re a kiss-add...telling me what I want to hear rather than answering a question with no right answer
