The interviewer is hoping to learn more about your approach towards your own leadership development. One's level of ambition can be revealed in how frequently they take advantage of learning new skills. It may also serve to reveal if you are overly ambitious and frequently take on too many tasks. Whether you're more likely to underperform on many tasks, over-perform on one task, or fall somewhere in between is what they're after here.

Taking on too many tasks, and trying to overachieve without having a firm grasp on time management, can result in poor work quality, thereby not meeting expectations. Being a perfectionist, and focusing too long on performing one task, may result in not meeting deadlines and slowing a team's productivity. They're trying to determine where you come in on this scale. The aim here is to strike a balance of quality and quantity.
