Avoid saying that you do not have strong leadership skills. Some think leadership skills only apply to supervisory positions, but strong leadership skills apply to any collaborative effort with a team. As an FBI Intelligence Analyst, you will often work in tandem with Special Agents and other intelligence team members, so you need to ensure the interviewer that you have the skills necessary to be successful in your role.

"I have strong leadership skills. I have worked in management and supervisory positions for thirteen years and can motivate and inspire those around me. I believe in leading by example and working alongside my team to reach our common goal. I am an excellent listener, communicator, and my team knows they can count on me to lead them to success in every project we collaborate on."

"I have never worked in a management role, but I would describe my leadership skills as very strong. I had the opportunity to demonstrate my leadership skills while receiving my bachelor's degree. One professor I had assigned groups to research international terrorism and instructed us to choose one person to present their findings at an academic conference. My group chose me due to my dependability, motivation, patience, and communication skills. The team collaboration and presentation went well, which made me confident in my ability to lead."
