QUESTION 18 OF 40

What characteristics or events have contributed to your success as a leader?

The interviewer wants to get to know you and how well your personality would complement their culture. Before your interview, consider the qualities possessed by great leaders you admire. Identify which you most passionately feel are essential leadership qualities and how they contribute to the values and principles that make up your character. If there was a strong mentor in your life or even a professor in college who inspired you, describe how the qualities you admired you embraced within yourself. The more friendly and forthright you are, and the more you open up and let them know you, the more successful you'll be in your answer.

"There is a multitude of factors that have helped me to become a strong leader. First and foremost, I had an outstanding mentor from a young age. Secondly, I have studied leadership at great length. My personality has also contributed to my success as I am a natural coach, teacher, and leader."

Here are some other factors that make a successful leader:

- Having a good example and replicating that example
- Working on continual development, both professionally and personally
- Being diligent when it comes to fully understanding your business
- The ability to make solid decisions promptly
- The ability to delegate when you know you aren't the best person for the task
- Maintaining a positive attitude even when times are tough
- Admitting when you are wrong and holding yourself accountable
- Keeping your team in the loop on current and upcoming changes
