This question is nuanced and tests your emotional maturity and perspective. How you answer will inform the interviewer of your self-awareness, confidence, and humility. Share what you believe has contributed to your success. Offer insights into the values and principles that contribute to your character. Out of the five main leadership styles, share which you most identify with. Provide relatable examples of leaders who influenced your character, a character from a book, a professor, a mentor, a family member, or a former manager. Explain how they impacted the shaping of your character. The more friendly and forthright you are, and the more you open up and let them know you, the more successful you'll be in your answer.
