I don’t think I’ve seen it ACTUALLY be anything but B in the real world, but theoretically, to answer your question -
1) that’s interesting! What do you consider the hardest people management issue you’ve run across?
2) what is the people management problem you think most people overrate in difficulty?
It usually will surface if they, for instance, consider people management easy because they have zero emotional affect and hence never bear any emotional load, or if they’ve been bless by ignorance and don’t see the work their peer and senior managers are doing to avoid them setting everything on fire, or never consider coaching or growth of someone to be a problem - because they never do it.
