When have you had to lead by example?
This speaks to your soft skills. Being able to effectively communicating your messaging, the importance of the work that needs to be done, giving your team ownership for their work and giving them pride in their contribution towards the team's success can go a long way here.

I would say on any of the projects I'm on people look to me to lead them through the IT landscape and be that person to pull things together. Being a product owner when I was a BSC in AGILE was also a great example of leading by example as I set the tone for the team.

Great start, but I suggest adding a closing sentence. What was the outcome of the tone you set for the team? When you led by example, what were others able to accomplish as a result?
