What leadership qualities do you possess?
The interviewer wants to know if you naturally take on a leadership based attitude in the workplace. You don't have to be interviewing for a leadership or management role to be asked these types of questions. Choose three qualities, and share your perspective on why you feel you have each of these qualities.
"My strongest leadership qualities include my ability to actively listen, give strong feedback gently, and the fact that I am always looking for opportunities to teach and coach others."
Choose from this list if you are coming up short. Some great qualities of a leader are:
- Being someone who people naturally want to follow
- Exceptional interpersonal skills
- Strong relationship building skills
- Taking ownership for the team's errors and mistakes
- Excelling at motivating others
- Providing kudos to your team
- Knowing how to select and hire the right people to join the team
- Having a vision for the future
