Job applicants often acquire a wealth of information about the company or organization to which they are applying as well as about the potential position that is available, but emotional intelligence expert Harvey Deutschendorf suggests that strategically interviewing your boss during an initial meeting will help applicants to decide if the job and work environment is right for them. An example of a question Deutschendorf recommends asking your potential boss is "can you describe a situation where you felt you were caught between management and your staff? How did you deal with this?"
