Give me an example of how you have been a leader in the workplace.

Look at this question in two different ways. If you have experience in a leadership role, it will be easy for you to connect your leadership experience with this question. Outline examples of how you have provided leadership in the workplace with your employees. Another way you can look at this question, especially if you have not been in a leadership role, is to look at when you went above and beyond.

"In my current position, I am the president of the social committee. I love that I have the opportunity to encourage employee engagement while being a positive influence on the workplace culture. I am a natural leader because I start with leading by example. As a leader, I make myself available to others who need mentor-ship, a bit of assistance in adjusting to their role, or just a listening ear when they've had a tough day. I am confident in my leadership abilities and look forward to joining your team in a leadership role."

"In my previous role, I led the DE&I committee where I provided leadership and thought leadership to the company CEO on different initiatives. I led the company wide Diversity initiative to update our job descriptions with gender inclusive language and single handedly addressed the employee base and gave training on DE&I."
