At Lam Research Corporation we like to hire those who are natural leaders. When have you taken on a leadership task in the workplace without being asked?

"Last month when our supervisor was out unexpectedly we had a couple of temporary employees not show up for their assignment. We were short-handed, and volumes were high. I decided to step up for the team, like a leader would do, and offered to work a double shift so that last-minute overtime was not expected of my team members. I enjoy setting an example of teamwork while maintaining a positive mindset."

"I will often take new hires under my wing, unasked. I believe that it helps with retention when new employees feel like others are interested in their success."
