How many people did you supervise at your last position?
Discuss with the interviewer your level of responsibility in your current position. If you have managed larger teams than you currently are, you can also discuss that particular role from your work history.
"Currently, I am supervising 12 employees with an overall budget responsibility of 4M. In my role, prior to this one, I managed 23 employees but with a smaller portfolio of 2MM. I am able to handle a large range of employees."
"This position would be my first official leadership role; however, I have jumped into unofficial leadership duties in the past. Currently our team is made up of 15 individuals with 8 being quite new to the industry. I have taken them under my wing and train them quite often on process and product knowledge."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I like that your answer provides specific numbers that clearly illustrate your supervisory capacity. Make your answer even more successful by relating any team successes your team experienced under your leadership such as exceeding sales goals QOQ, gaining a certain number of clients each year, or successfully selling new or overstocked products.
