"I'd worked on a group project in developing a complicated algorithm driven by bots. There were two friends who together took command and drove the group in one direction. I had a different approach and asserted my viewpoint, but I was outnumbered and my voice wasn't heard. On the next project, I was determined to yield better results. So I worked in a team effort, but did things my own way and shared what I was doing with others. It was a different approach than everyone else was taking, but I developed an active interest from the rest of the team in what I was accomplishing. Pretty soon, everyone started asking more and more about my approach, adopting it as their own. That felt pretty good. I realized my presumption was what led me astray the first time. Now, I influence just by being me. I think that's what everyone wants, to be successful at being themselves."

Your example and how you present it will assist them in determining your fit into their company culture. This leadership question seeks to reveal your leadership style, your ability to lead, how you go about persuading others, and how you align the goals of the team. It's one thing to usher others through a resistance towards change, and it's another to micromanage others by commanding them to adapt to something they don't trust.

Rather than framing yourself as more knowledgable or experienced as those you've worked with, the path forward to answering this question is where you assisted others in adapting to positive changes you've innovated. This will exhibit yourself as a desirable asset aligned with thier approach.

As they state on their website, "Get a head start in unlocking the power of your leadership DNA. Discover your strengths as you take on challenges that will prepare you for leading the way in making a difference." Integrity, respect, and trusting team collaborations are also important aspects of their core values. If you already have leadership experience this is your chance to show it.
