QUESTION 17 OF 21

Give an example of a time you had to take a leadership role on the job. What did you learn from that situation that you can bring to British Airways?

In the team-based environment at British Airways that the ground operations team has to thrive in, there may be times where you have to take the bull by the horns and be the leader of the team. While your interviewer will be able to see any formal leadership positions you've held during your career, they'll be looking to hear the details of the leadership role you took on and what you took from that experience that will be beneficial to their team. If you don't have any formal leadership experience on your resume, think about times where you've taken the lead on the job and discuss those in detail.

"With my current company, I was tasked a couple of years ago to lead a team on offsite projects that come up once in a while. My supervisor saw my ability to think on my feet and delegate duties to my team as a great sign that I was ready for this challenge and when asked if I would, I graciously said yes. If I were lucky enough to be hired at British Airways, I feel very confident in my ability to give direction to others, if it became necessary. My current experience would fare well for me because I've learned how to do this confidently and with class."
