The interviewer would like to gain an understanding of your leadership activities. You may have leadership roles on your resume. If you do, be sure to bring this experience to life for the interviewer by discussing how many people you have lead, what their job titles were, and the volume of work you needed to facilitate.
If you do not have experience with supervising crews or facilitating schedules, think of other times that you have jumped into a leadership role without being asked. Show that you are a natural leader and someone who can take control of a situation when it's appropriate, and when you see the need.

"Being new to my career, the leadership experience that I have is informal and mainly during times when my supervisor is unavailable, or I need to help a new employee learn something new. I think that I am a natural leader because I quickly see where there is a need and where a potential issue could arise. I am proactive and have a keen eye for detail."

Over my 16 years of experience in the Royal Air Force as an Aircrew, I have had to deal with many people, particularly teams of movers and hookers, depending on aircraft type. Focussing on working onboard fixed-wing aircraft my daily routine involved working closely with an 8 man movements team to load and offload my aircraft which at times can be extremely busy and mistakes can not be afforded. Safety to both personnel and the aircraft is paramount so I must be able to have full awareness of everything that is going on around me whilst I am in charge of my aircraft. At times, the loading and unloading could be rushed, due to tight schedules or delays whereby the aircraft was unserviceable, a piece of equipment has failed to turn up at the ramp or there was an unexpected problem that put meeting our take-off time at risk. No matter how much I was pressed for time, corners could never be cut due to having to follow vital safety rules and protocols.

Excellent. It sounds like you have a lot of experience in loading and offloading aircraft. You are clearly able to work effectively and efficiently with your team. Were you ever in the position of supervising others? If this was the case, don't forget to include this in your answer as well. Nice job!
