If you were the leader of a team, what would you do to be successful?

Break down what leading a team means to you, from assembling a team to motivating them and ensuring all deadlines are met. Offer examples of the individuals you model your leadership style after. This will give the interviewer a tangible comparison to draw from.

"I would assign tasks not solely based on preference, but according to the skills and strengths of each member of my team. I would make sure every member of the team has a firm grasp of their time management skills. Any tasks that fell outside of their skills sets would be assigned based on who is willing to step outside of their comfort zone and is less likely to suffer from task paralysis. I would then work side by side with the team, check in daily on their progress, and check in with their pain points to see if I could help address them in any way. I would adjust priorities consistently where needed and keep my eye on the ball at all times. This would include weekly or daily team meetings where everybody expressed their progress and setbacks, so everyone is on the same page and can volunteer assistance and support the team."
