Ask the interviewer about who their best current employee is and why they're the best. Does several things:

-Raises good or bad flags about this potential boss and their leadership values & style. Good: they highlight ownership, learning, creativity, and anything else you wish your boss would see in you. Bad: they highlight the employee is loyal, works hard, is highly productive (this one isn't bad by itself, just bad when it's the top or only thing called out). -Establishes that you care about leadership styles, have confidence, and aspire to be the best yourself. It's subtle self promotion.
