"As a manager/lead, have you ever inherited a team that you were then responsible for? What were some of the challenges in working with them?" "What other departments have you worked closely with? What have you found difficult or what do you wish they would do differently in their collaboration with you?" By focusing on OTHER people - not YOUR hires, not YOUR team - both of these questions give the candidate an opportunity to bad-mouth or blame other people - I want to know if, given the opening, they will do so. Obviously your inherited team might have been terrible! But a good manager will be able to talk about how they tried to resolve a situation and ultimately how they made changes (training, more managing, firing) instead of just ranting.
