We have a team AMA coming up with a director. Apart from the typical “what are plans/goals for the team” type questions, what else could be useful or insightful questions?

When asking for plans: ask for 1 year, 2 year, and 5 year product and technology North stars. Should be pretty vague for the 5 year but at least should have some direction figured out.
Depending on the org the tech side might best be answered by the principle engineers not directors.
ask them if they’re a starter or a finisher.
do they enjoy starting projects or finishing projects more?
there’s no bad answer unless they don’t answer at all.
