Executive Summary
Management interviews are often very different from entry-level or even mid-level positions within organizations. Most manager interview questions focus on understanding management style and how to deal with conflicts between employees. Most managers are usually responsible for hiring and firing employees, so this can be a daunting task. Management interview questions are n
ot based on knowledge, but rather on learning experiences. In this report, we interviewed John, the Kathmandu Trading Private Limited (KTPL) business manager.

Introduction
Once the best solution is determined, a good manager will develop a solid implementation plan. The plan should include steps that will continue to be taken, as well as contingency plans that will help managers deal with potential obstacles. He or she must also ensure the commitment of others, mobilize them to take action, and hold them accountable for their responsibilities. The process of solving problems is a never-ending plan, execution, inspection and action cycle while monitoring the situation and results. As needed, managers will adjust their plans so that teams can continue to find solutions that lead to better performance.
Findings
Literature Review
The manager always keeps goals for the team as well as determines what needs to be done to achieve them. One major role of a manager is that he/she chooses the employees to complete the tasks they need to divide and complete viable activities. The manager chooses the employees to complete the tasks they need to divide and complete in viable activities. With the rise of knowledge workers, this work has become more important. In the knowledge economy, people are the most important assets of a company and it is a manager to decide on developing assets. Other management experts can different words and focus on different aspects of these words.
One of the most important responsibilities of problem-solving managers is to solve problems; to find answers to difficult questions, which are sometimes a source of extreme confusion and confusion for organizations, often belonging to organizational managers. The company's success depends on the manager who has a strong problem solver. Problems reach at all scales, from daily nuisances to organizational crises. Managers, who can systematically think about facts, diagnose situations and find accurate moreover workable solutions will help and support the business to thrive as well as to prosper. An effective problem solver can guide the team to eliminate frustration, confusion, and misunderstanding before they can be managed to achieve their goals. They build collaboration and collaboration among individuals, eliminate the need for rework, and promote continuous improvement. The best managers can usually perceive problems with keen insight. They may notice deviations from standard team performance, such as missed deadlines or unsuccessful sales targets - when the team plans to get out of hand; these managers automatically begin the process of solving the problem. Solving the problem is the essence of the existence of the manager (Condie, 2002).
As a manager, our goal is always to minimize the occurrence of the problem - which means that as a manager we have to brave enough to solve problems before the situation is forced. We must be resilient in the process of creating and sustaining the people we serve the firm and the people we serve our services. However, the reality of a workplace has found that we deal with people who make things complicated, their corporate politics, self-promotion, power games and tricks and tricks. Silos, lack of budget and resources, furthermore several other random behaviours or situations make it harder to increase productivity. Competitors can also cause problems or issues when they accidentally convert long-term customers, establish some new industry relationships and launch new products, brands or corporate strategies. Mergers and acquisitions keep managers alert and further distract them from solving existing issues by creating some new ones. As most influential scientific philosophers of the 20th century, Karl Popper once eloquently said: “All life is solving problems.” I often argue that the best managers are the most excellent problem solvers.
They have the courage to look after them and look at the problem; Circular Vision: They look for problems around themselves, down and out. They are far from clear range. The most effective menus solve the problem with the opportunity lens (Lowrey, 2004). Managers who lack this kind of intelligence will encounter linear vision problems - so they can only see problems that exist directly in front of them and hinder the possibility of existence in the problem. Therefore, they never ever see the full content of an issue; it can really act as a facilitator to improve existing suitable practices, standards and protocols operating procedures to promote market development and competition. They never realized that ultimately all the problems were the same - just packed in different ways (Davison, 2006).
