The interviewer would like to know how you feel about future leadership opportunities. Think about a time when you have led someone else, or a group of people, at work or in your personal life. If you are newer to your career, perhaps you led a group project in school or led a volunteer effort. Show the interviewer how you strive to be an excellent example to others.

"Yes, I have overseen a team of 5 others in the past. I enjoy being a leader in situations where I know my job very well and am confident that I can guide others with ease. For me, leadership does not always equate to management. If I am not in an official leadership role, I am still able to be a great example to others through a strong work ethic and a positive mindset."

"I always strive to be a positive example to others, even when I am not in a formal leadership position. While attending university, I enjoyed being the encourager in group projects, and I also volunteered as a tutor. If hired at Los Angeles County Department of Public Works I would take every opportunity to be a good example, whether in a team lead function or not."
