At Boeing, you will be joining a large and diverse team of individuals, and the team will be made up of people with strengths and weaknesses. Your interviewer wants to see that you are confident enough to take the initiative to lead your team when the opportunity arises at Boeing.

Describe a project or learning experience where you saw a chance to lead and took advantage of it. Talk about the success of the project and your biggest takeaway from experience. If you have a direct work experience where you successfully led others with success, be sure to talk about that experience with your interviewer.

"Growing up and into my college years, I was a natural leader to my peers. This is evident in my years of participating in team sports and being a team captain. During my internship last year, I didn't hesitate to take the lead on a project with experienced professionals in our field because it was a project that I was confident I had the skills to lead. Even though I was a subordinate on the team, I relied on my communication skills to take charge and instruct others."
