Prior to applying to become your Managing Director, I undertook lots of research into your organization, the industry you occupy, and also the position you are currently in to ensure I could add significant value to the business. As you know, there comes a significant amount of responsibility being a Managing Director, and you have to be willing to take full accountability and responsibility for everything that happens within the organization you are responsible for.

RICHARD MCMUNN’S 4 TIPS FOR PASSING YOUR MANAGING DIRECTOR INTERVIEW
TIP #1 – A Managing Director interview is undoubtedly one of the hardest interviews to pass. The board of interviewers will want to be assured that you are the person to take their organization forward. On that basis, they will have conducted some research into you prior to the interview taking place. During the Managing Director interview, make sure you demonstrate passion, knowledge of their business and the industry they operate in, and also provide previous examples of where you have demonstrated your leadership capabilities in previous situations.
TIP #2 – By preparing answers to all of the 22 Managing Director interview questions listed on this page, you will be increasing your chances of success tenfold. The interview questions listed on this page are amongst the most common ones asked at Managing Director interviews across all industries. Whilst some of the interview questions are challenging, we strongly urge you to consider your responses to all of them during your preparation.
TIP #3 – During your preparation for the Managing Director interview, we recommend you consider your vision for the company or organization you are applying to join. During the interview, show you have prepared fully for every eventuality. If you already have a proposed vision in place, and if you have a thorough knowledge of their products, services and how you plan to grow their business, you will be far more likely to achieve success at the interview.
TIP #4 – It is vitally important you prepare for three types of question during your Managing Director interview: motivational-based, research-based and also behavioural-based. The motivational interview questions assess your reasons for wanting the position of Managing Director with their organization; the research-based questions asses what you know about their company and their products or services; and the behavioral-type interview questions delve into your past experiences that are based on the job description. Make sure you prepare for all three types of question prior to your interview.
