This tests your grasp of modern agile management, moving from command-and-control to enabling teams. Contrast Theory X (directing) with Theory Y (coaching). In LeSS, managers improve the system and teach, not assign tasks.
This tests your understanding of how management's role shifts in scaled agile like LeSS. A great answer contrasts traditional 'Theory X' (control) with LeSS's 'Theory Y' (enabling self-direction). Explain that managers stop assigning work (the PO's job) and instead focus on improving the system, teaching problem-solving, and fostering self-management. The primary red flag is describing a manager who still dictates solutions or directly manages dependencies, acting as a 'super Scrum Master' instead of a systems thinker.
