They are too vague and make it sound like you are trying to fake a challenging question. More than anything else, these questions would tell me "Here is an employee who will demand a lot of my time." If you want to ask something about decisions, ask something like "Do you favor consensus or autonomy in decision making?" or "How do junior team members influence team decisions?" or something like that. The manager question is kind of out of left field. It would be like someone interviewing for a developer position asking "So, what do you think is the purpose of a laptop?" Anyway, that's ny two cents. Use at your own risk.
