Your approach to leadership has the potential to positively or negatively impact their department. So, the interviewer wants insight into your self-awareness and self-perception, and how you approach your work. Determining how you overcome challenges and motivate your team will help them evaluate how compatible you are with their work culture and environment. This will help them evaluate if you're an asset versus a liability.

Answer this question according to your own nature, exhibiting humility without playing yourself down. Contemplate what leadership looks like to you. You want to market yourself as a desirable asset. Be sure the impression you set is that you're good at your job, and you are consistently putting your all in.

"I consider myself an effective leader. I am humble and try to remain adaptable to change. I lead by example and am in tune with my team. I place everybody where they'll shine and take pride in their work. Promote strengths and never exploit weaknesses. I deliver prompt and often specific feedback and am a straight shooter. I never say, "do this" without explaining "why." I've learned the more of a big picture everyone has with their work, the more invested they'll be in the quality of their work."
